Thank you Ali Filipowicz and Friends of Duncan Library for providing such a meaningful and impactful volunteer experience for AmeriCorps Alums DC and fellow volunteers this morning. As a regular "book wrangler" at your Spring and Fall sales, I enjoyed serving with Salome, Gabrielle, Kali, and others to see how the sale comes together. My body is sore from moving so much furniture, display tables, and books, but my soul is refreshed. A blessing to serve and support the good you're doing. Wishing the library much luck breaking sales and attendance records. I’m excited to return as a shopper.

Nearly 400 AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers are supporting Hurricane Helene and Milton recovery efforts across Florida, Georgia, Virginia, and the Carolinas. AmeriCorps CEO Michael D. Smith shares about the importance of disaster recovery and its impact on communities: I'll never forget seeing AmeriCorps in action for the first time on the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Long after the cameras had gone away in the year after Katrina, AmeriCorps members were still on the ground pulling the pieces back together, doing hard work to help communities grapple with the hurricane's devastation. Twenty years later, I continue to see our members' and volunteers' commitment to make a difference when Americans need it most. Currently, nearly 400 AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers are serving in communities affected by the two devastating hurricanes. I met AmeriCorps members serving with FEMA Corps, an innovative, team-based national service program that provides 18 to 26‐year‐olds the opportunity to gain experience and training in emergency response while supporting immediate needs after a disaster for survivors and their communities. Members of AmeriCorps NCCC in North Carolina supported the initial disaster response, creating incident action plans, assisting disaster survivor services, building capacity for FEMA's National Incident Management Assistance Team, and more. Our members of AmeriCorps NCCC, Conservation Corps North Carolina, part of AmeriCorps Disaster Response Teams, which are our programs that are nationally deployable resources and recognized in the emergency management community as leaders in volunteer management, are working alongside agencies like the American Red Cross to support shelters, mucking and gutting of homes, removing debris, conducting needs assessments, and more. As our members have done so for the past 30 years, AmeriCorps will continue to answer the call and recruit more to serve in times of tragedy and triumph – and we will be there for our neighbors in need long after the storms have passed. Thank you to everyone who is helping our communities recover and rebuild. Bit.ly/BlogOct31 #NationalService #Helene #Disaster #Careers
