Residents can volunteer to help with storm recovery this weekend

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.
