Volunteers Make a Difference with SALT on Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service


Volunteers from St. Rose College

Schoharie Area Long Term (SALT) staff and AmeriCorp Volunteer in Service to America (VISTA) members coordinated a volunteer weekend and preparedness campaign for the Corporation of National and Community Service's Martin Luther King (MLK) Day of Service. 

VISTA members and SALT affiliates, including Schoharie Recovery Inc., coordinated over 100 volunteers for the ongoing recovery efforts.  Work was accomplished at 7 flood damaged properties in both Schoharie and Middleburgh, at the CARE for NYS Donation Center and through surveying over 60 homes to assess their unmet recovery needs.  Both individuals and groups came out to volunteer.  Individuals ranged from Assemblyman Pete Lopez, Kathleen, Donna and Taryn from the Corporation for National and Community Service New York State Office and local residents Bob and Kathleen.  Groups came from the CEO-Youth Build AmeriCorps, Charleton School, HOBY, King of Kings Lutheran Church from Liverpool NY, Lakeview Community Church from Rochester NY, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, St. Rose College, and WalMart.  Additional volunteers included 5 who ran our Loaves and Fishes CafĂ©, serving lunches and snacks to the volunteers on both Saturday and Monday.  Every volunteer was enthusiastic about their work and SALT is truly grateful for their service.

In addition to service activities, AmeriCorps VISTA members worked in conjunction with Schoharie County Emergency Management Office to distribute books and pamphlets related to disaster preparedness to students in grades K to 5 in schools located in Schoharie County.  Readers are reminded that they can sign up for NY-Alert, a web-based portal for disseminating information to audiences within a defined geographical area, by registering on the website at www.nyalert.gov or by calling them at 1-888-697-7972.  A digital copy of the Emergency Information Handbook may be accessed by anyone at http://www.dhses.ny.gov/media/documents/2011_EI_Handbook.pdf
