National service agency recognizes Florida resident for 600+ hours of service rebuilding homes affected by Hurricane Ian
After Lopez’s own home was destroyed in the hurricane, she received services from Adventures in Missions and quickly decided to join the cause to support disaster relief efforts. Lopez first assisted with debris removal, mucking and gutting out damaged buildings and helping to clean up flood-damaged homes. She also has served meals, established a lodging volunteer base, led walk-up volunteer teams, performed assessments and provided a listening ear to community members. She is now learning trades and skills so that she can lead light construction crews as Adventures in Missions embarks on the next phase of recovery.
“I was honored to recognize Monica for the incredible work she has done for the Fort Myer’s community from volunteer coordination to physical labor,” said Smith. “Her story is a reminder that even in the aftermath of a disaster, there will always be Americans who come together to find the path forward. On behalf of AmeriCorps, thank you for sacrificing your time and demonstrating service as a uniting force.”
AmeriCorps offers opportunities for individuals of all backgrounds to be a part of the national service community, grow personally and professionally, and receive benefits for their service.
