Proclamation: “AmeriCorps Week in St. Charles Parish”
Body
P R O C L A M A T I O N
WHEREAS, for years, National Service Recognition Day was a standalone day to honor AmeriCorps members and volunteers. In 2022, this important community joined AmeriCorps Week to celebrate; and,
WHEREAS, AmeriCorps is a federal agency tasked with elevating service and volunteerism in America. It engages more than 250,000 AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Senior volunteers in national service at several locations each year; and,
WHEREAS, AmeriCorps engages thousands of Americans each year in sustained, result-driven services through AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps Senior programs; and,
WHEREAS, members and volunteers continue to help communities ensure students stay on track to graduate, combat hunger and homelessness, respond to natural disasters, fight the opioid epidemic, help seniors live independently, support veteran and military families, and much more; and,
WHEREAS, every March, the country recognizes and gives thanks to those members and volunteers who raise their hands to help when the need arises. They are often the first on the ground and last to leave, making sure their projects are better than they found them.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, WE THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL AND THE PARISH PRESIDENT, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM MARCH 10-16, 2024, AS
“AMERICORPS WEEK IN ST. CHARLES PARISH”
AND ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO RECOGNIZE THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF NATIONAL SERVICE IN OUR PARISH, TO THANK THOSE WHO SERVE, AND TO FIND WAYS TO GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITIES.
