Serve The City, a continuing partner with Corridor Recovery, is transitioning from the disaster phase into the Long Term Recovery phase. Effective immediately we are wholeheartedly supporting Corridor Recovery as the new volunteer center is opened. We are handing off volunteer deployment to the community led resources of which we are a part. All volunteers that registered with Serve The City on a paper registration and wish to continue to volunteer should go to www.corridorrecovery.org and register. On behalf of those we were able to help, we extend a heartfelt ‘thank-you’ to every volunteer who has served their community in these first three weeks. Together, we will rebuild our communities.

Serve The City
