Residents can volunteer to help with storm recovery this weekend

June 3, 2019 1:20 pm


Would you like to volunteer to help with recovery efforts this weekend?

Douglas County Emergency Management and the First United Methodist Church have opened a Volunteer Reception Center at the church, 867 U.S. Highway 40.

The Center will accept volunteers, ages 18 and older, to work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, June 1, and 12:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, June 2.

If you signed up to volunteer through 2-1-1, you will still need to come to the center to get an access card, which allows you into secured areas. If you do not have a card, you will not be able to volunteer. Volunteers must register daily at the center.
