Hi team -
Recovery efforts are ongoing her on Riverside Drive, Lake Drive, and Riverhaven Drive. We making progress here, but we need your help. We’ve got a lot of damage and a lots of debris to move.
I’d love to have some folks from city and county organizations here helping out. Please share as you see fit with your employees and volunteer groups as you see fit.
On Saturday, we are holding a community volunteer to help our neighbors on Riverside Drive, Riverhaven Drive, and Lake Drive. We will have two shifts - Morning shift: 9am-12pm and Afternoon Shift: 1pm-4pm. We ask that ALL volunteers be associated with a group or organization. This helps us keep track of volunteers and ensure the safety of all.
Volunteers will be assisting in the following tasks:
Debris removal
Cleaning dirty surfaces
Loading debris onto trucks
Giving out donations
Volunteers will park at Calvary Baptist Church at 2727 Mt Holly-Huntersville Road. Volunteers will be shuttled by van/bus to the site. Vans will start at 8:45am with multiple trips being made until 9am.
Volunteers should wear closed toed shoes, long pants, and a shirt form the organization they represent. Volunteers should also bring water and wear sunscreen, and we will have both on site.
At 9am and 1pm we will have a quick introduction, a safety briefing, and give out assignments.
Please share with your networks and have a representative fill out the form below.
