AmeriCorps Kids First Initiative Member in the Spotlight: Tammy VanVleck
Tammy VanVleck is currently serving at Catholic Charities in Bath, where she assists in providing those in poverty with various programs and initiatives. Tammy decided to join AmeriCorps because it offered her the opportunity to gain experience in the Human Services field while simultaneously completing her practicum toward her Associate's Degree. Although balancing school and learning her duties as an AmeriCorps member have been challenging, Tammy finds it very rewarding to be able to give back to those in need.  Read More About Tammy >

For the sixth year, Catholic Charities' Emergency Services Programs will participate in The Feinstein Foundation's Million Dollar Challenge to fight hunger. During the months of March and April, all donations to Schuyler Outreach Food Pantry in Watkins Glen or the Samaritan Center in Elmira will increase the Programs' share of a million dollar fund - donations can include cash, checks, and food items valued at $1 per item or pound. Every donation and gift will stay in the county in which the Emergency Services Programs are located, ensuring that every dollar given back remains in the local community. Learn More >
Brain Injury Awareness Night Hosted by AIM Independent Living Center
March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, however, with recent media stories, it can be unclear who can have or receive a brain injury, how brain injuries can occur, or what constitutes a brain injury. Brain injuries do not discriminate - an estimated 3.1 million Americans live with a brain injury, and many more are undiagnosed or aren't acknowledged as an injury. Join AIM Independent Living Center tonight (Wednesday, March 20th) from 5 pm - 6:15 pm for an informational session at the Corning office, located at 271 East First Street. Learn More >
