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

Executive Director
