Big Bend residents have demonstrated overwhelming support by
responding to the call for volunteers to help with relief efforts in the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
The Capital Area Citizen Corps, a partnership of the Leon
County Volunteer Center (VolunteerLEON), Capital Area Chapter of the
American Red Cross and Florida State University’s Center for Civic Education
and Service, has fulfilled the request for volunteers to travel to Mobile,
Ala. over the next three weekends to assist with mass care relief efforts.
All citizens who are interested in providing relief and
recovery assistance to Hurricane Katrina victims both locally and in the
affected areas can visit www.VolunteerLEON.org/VolunteerConnection
and sign-up to be notified of additional volunteer opportunities. This
long-term recovery effort will be ongoing and as additional needs are
identified, volunteers from the Big Bend area will be called upon to help
our neighbors.
