Whether your COVID-19 volunteer efforts are to deliver meals to vulnerable seniors or make face masks for the community and county first responders, we want to hear about it. Please tell us what you did and how many hours it took.
The benefits of reporting your volunteer hours or donated resources are two-fold. Not only are you helping to keep your friends and neighbors safe, but your volunteer efforts also may help the community meet its disaster assistance grant match.
After a presidential emergency or disaster declaration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will provide up to 75 percent cost reimbursement for eligible projects under the public assistance programs. State and local governments need to come up with a 25 percent match. Your donated resources may qualify as meeting the county's matching funds requirement.
We appreciate you and all that you are doing for our community and surrounding areas.
Thank you all!
