Martin Luther King Day of Service Approaches!

 

AmeriCorps Cape Cod is collaborating with a variety of fantastic community partners to offer service opportunities on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, January 16, 2012. Meet a community need by collecting nonperishable food items and constructing garden beds for local food pantries, painting a group home with the Aids Support Group of Cape Cod, demolishing a roof with affordable- housing provider Our First Home, or sewing door draft stoppers to be donated to local Councils on Aging.  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?’” We would love to connect you with the Cape Cod community to make this January 16th ‘A Day On, Not a Day Off!’

The vision and mission of the AmeriCorps Cape Cod program is to offer a diverse group of trained adults a 10-month, full time, residential living opportunity serving the critical environmental and disaster preparedness needs of the fifteen towns within Barnstable County.

Our goal is to address community needs through service. We also engage citizen volunteers of the Cape on land and water based conservation projects and disaster preparedness. Service includes education and outreach to citizens and visitors on critical environmental and disaster preparedness needs of the region.
