Over 277 people are heavily impacted by the flooding and many others are impacted as well. AmeriCorps St. Louis is coordinating volunteer groups that can help muck out & sanitize homes so that residents can live safely in their properties again. <BR/><BR/>Who can help: Groups of volunteers are requested (e.g., a group of friends, student group, department, residential college community, etc.). AmeriCorps will be setting up special volunteer days for individual volunteers, but right now they are requesting groups that are already formed.<BR/><BR/>When you can help: Anytime you are available! Volunteers are needed this weekend (September 20-21), next week, and into the following weekend - as long as it takes to get the job done. Your group can designate the time and day you are available, and how long you can work.<BR/><BR/>How to prepare: Volunteers should be ready to work and to get dirty, and should wear close-toed shoes. AmeriCorps will supply dusk masks, gloves, and cleaning supplies. A Field Leader will provide an orientation.<BR/><BR/>How to sign up: Call 314.420.4170 or email ian@americorps-stl.org (please do not reply to the person who is sending you this message!).<BR/><BR/>How to get there: Many areas in University City are accessible by foot, bike, or WUSTL bus. If your assigned location requires a car and you don't have one, but one of your group members is registered for the WeCar, you can use the WeCar Fund to pay for your WeCar rental.Zuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698612796453111045noreply@blogger.com
