AmeriCorps Emergency Needs Fund

AmeriCorps members tackle pressing challenges within our communities like ensuring that children succeed in school and helping survivors of domestic violence find safety.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, AmeriCorps members have helped coordinate food drives, distributed personal protective equipment (PPE), supported students in the transition to remote learning, and more.

Please help us say “Thank you!” by setting up a safety net for their essential needs. The first $4,500 in donations will be matched 1:1 thanks to two generous donors!
