AmeriCorps NCCC Gaining Community Involvement in Bemidji
Bemidji, Minn. – AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) is putting together
a community day to bring the people of Bemidji together to get involved in building the Garden
Project at the Bemidji Community Food Shelf (BCFS) on June 5, 2014 from 10 am to 4 pm. We
are hoping to have people help in the garden, grow their own food and learn more about
AmeriCorps NCCC.
A NCCC team is assisting the Bemidji Community Food Shelf in the start of its five year garden
project. The garden serves as a source of fresh produce to be use in distributing to those in need.
The community day strives to unite the community and establish the garden for BCFS. There
will be various opportunities to learn how to garden.
“The youth of the community will be much appreciated and we are looking forward to working
with previous volunteers as well as new volunteers at the Bemidji Community Food Shelf,”
stated Kathrine Hamilton, a coordinator of the community day.
For more information about BCFS visit http://www.bemidjifoodshelf.org/. For more information
about the community day contact Kathrine Hamilton at (762) 383-9914.
AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) is a full-time, 10-month, residential,
national service program in which 2,800 young adults - all 18 to 24 years old- serve nationwide
each year. The NCCC program oversees two service tracks – NCCC and FEMA Corps – and
members in these programs serve in teams of eight to twelve on four service projects during their
service. NCCC members serve on projects that address critical needs related to natural and other
disasters, infrastructure improvement, environmental stewardship and conservation, energy
conservation, and urban and rural development. FEMA Corps members focus solely on
emergency management and long-term recovery activities through FEMA. The North Central
Region campus in Vinton, Iowa is one of five regional campuses. The other campuses are
located in Baltimore, Md.; Sacramento, Calif.; Vicksburg, Miss.; and Denver, Colo.
In exchange for their service, members receive $5,645 to help pay for college or to pay back
existing student loans. Other benefits include a small living stipend, room and board, leadership
development, increased self-confidence, and the knowledge that, through active citizenship,
people can indeed make a difference. AmeriCorps NCCC is administered by the Corporation for
National and Community Service. For more information about AmeriCorps NCCC programs,
visit the website at www.nationalservice.gov/nccc.
