I got involved with WNY AmeriCorps in the late 90’s when they became neighbors with a community organization I was involved with. We had a number of shared projects, and over the years it blended to me following their accomplishments and occasionally volunteering to assist AmeriCorps with some of their own projects. When I think of WNY AmeriCorps I am reminded of the good they do (1) They feed the hungry (Distribute food to the 100+ food banks and shelters in Western New York (2) They educate (They give high school equivalency classes) (3) They tutor (In local elementary schools) (4) They teach the trades (Construction, renovation, building) (5) They care for our elderly (shovel driveways, etc…) (6) They care for the sick and infirmed (Build wheelchair ramps) (7) They care about beauty and nature (They do neighborhood cleanups and plant flowers and trees) (8) They understand and support tourism (Volunteer for local conventions) (9) They support the other not-for-profits by providing workers (10) They renovate (Schools, other not-for-profits, homes in low income areas)
