How can I help if a disaster strikes my community? VOLUNTEER!
The Lenawee Community Foundation is sponsoring a Volunteer Response Center (VRC) training. VRC volunteers work with local emergency offices and spontaneous volunteers by:
- Assisting people in finding appropriate, productive, and safe ways to volunteer
- Assisting nonprofit organizations in recruiting volunteers to respond to the disaster
Lenawee County needs a team of volunteers ready to respond when the Emergency Manager calls our VRC into action. A VRC is one link in the chain of responses necessary for an organized disaster. Can you spare a 6 hours to be prepared to respond?
