All Hands Volunteers addresses the immediate and long-term needs of communities impacted by natural disasters by engaging andleveraging volunteers, partner organizations, and local communities. All Hands aims to demonstrate the power and value of volunteerismthrough the tangible work done, the hope it brings to suffering communities, and the transformative experiences it provides for volunteers.The City of Rosenberg was heavily impacted by storms and flooding in the early summer of 2015, and All Hands Volunteers requested thesupport of an AmeriCorps NCCC team to help meet the community’s needs. AmeriCorps NCCC members spent their round primarily muckingand gutting homes to ensure the removal of mold spores from homes the area, using tools such as the circular saw, reciprocating saw,sledge hammers, and chalk lines along the way. This service not only helped to alleviate potential future health concerns that could affectthe families further down the road, but also eliminated labor hours and could potentially save each family thousands of dollars over the lifeof the reconstruction process.

NECHAMA is a voluntary organization that provides natural disaster preparedness, response, and recovery services nationwide. Afterdevastating floods affected thousands of residents in Texas in the early summer of 2015, NECHAMA requested the support of anAmeriCorps NCCC team. Over three weeks, the AmeriCorps team served on a total of eight houses affected by the flooding in both theWimberley and Houston, Texas areas, where they worked to gut (remove trim, molding, sheetrock, insulation, nails, carpet and electricalfixtures) eight separate houses that were severely damaged by the flood. Two of the three houses were gutted from top to bottom. InWimberley, the team learned the importance of getting the mold out of homes early. However, when they arrived in Houston, the teamserved homeowners who had not yet started gutting their homes, where they were shocked to see moldy homes still untouched. AmeriCorpsNCCC had the honor of serving elderly, disabled, or economically challenged individuals who had nowhere else to tum for assistance inrecovering.

Senior Corps RSVP

In Dallas, ten Senior Companions from The Senior Source have provided more than 4,000 hours of in-home care to 15 veterans and theirfamilies this year. One of these veterans is 88-year-old Tuskegee Airman Homer Hogues. Mr. Hogues’ wife of 65 years needed help caringfor him and reached out to their church which, in turn, referred them to The Senior Source. Louise Scott, a Senior Companion for more than20 years, started working with Mr. Hogues in 2014. They often look through albums and discuss his service as a Tuskegee Airman. TheHogues’ daughter, Barbara, credits the Senior Companion Program for giving her peace of mind to ensure her father exercises, eats well,and has companionship. Mr. Hogues started working as an airplane mechanic in Tuskegee, Ala., and transferred to Lockland Air Force Basebefore moving to Dallas. Originally he was drafted to Korea to help clean up after the war. As Barbara states, “He felt like as a black manhe could stay here and clean up. He wanted to do more.” It’s a message he shares with children: “You are responsible for your own future.You have to say, ‘I want to do more.’”
