ShoreCAN Volunteer Center Marks Tenth Anniversary of 9/11 with Volunteer Event
August 8, 2011
The ShoreCAN Volunteer Center accepted a generous donation of File for Life Kits from Atlantic General Hospital for ShoreCAN’s Just in Case Emergency Kits for seniors living at home in our community. The File for Life Kits are a vital component of the project by providing vital information for first responders and hospital personnel in an emergency. Pictured above (l to r standing) is Janine Jacobs, Risk Management Associate, Atlantic General Hospital and Heather Towers, Assistant Program Officer, Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. For more information, please call Heather Towers, Assistant Program Officer, Community Foundation, at 410-742-9911.

The
Community Foundation and ShoreCAN Volunteer Center is observing the tenth
anniversary of 9/11 by hosting a Just In
Case Emergency Kit Event on Saturday, September 10 at 10:00 a.m. at the MAC
Senior Center building, 909 Progress Circle Drive in Salisbury.
Following
the 9/11 terrorist attacks, thousands of volunteers responded to the needs of
their neighbors and provided emergency relief and funding necessary to rebuild
those communities. This event is a
tribute to those generous efforts. Citizens
of all ages can volunteer alongside others while assembling emergency disaster
kits designed for older adults and their caregivers.
In
partnership with Meals on Wheels, the emergency kits will be distributed to 425
seniors living at home in our local community the week of 9/11.
Volunteer
opportunities ranging from creating care cards, emergency kit assembly and
packaging will be available. We invite
you to bring your family, your friends or your service organization to
contribute your time to this special effort.
For more
information or to sign up to volunteer, please call Heather Towers, Assistant
Program Officer, Community Foundation ShoreCAN at 410-742-9911. ShoreCAN is also accepting financial
contributions to support kit materials for this project.
