(JAN 09 Ice Storm) Phone Bank Volunteers Needed In partnership with Metro Government, KY VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster), Metro United Way has been asked to coordinate a Storm Debris Assistance phone bank. The phone bank will receive two types of calls: For individuals/teams who want to volunteer to assist in storm debris removal For elderly, homebound or disabled to call in to request help in clearing their yards from the ice storm tree damage. Volunteers are needed to answer phones & help with other duties: Time: 4:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. (or whenever you can arrive until 8:00 p.m.) Days: Tuesday, February 10th; Wednesday, February 11th; Thursday, February 12th Location: Metro United Way, 334 E.

Debris Clean Up Volunteers If you can’t help on the calls, but would like to form a team to help in the clean up, we need you as well. Volunteers will not be removing tree limbs from roofs or removing tree limbs hanging in trees. You will be cleaning tree limbs and branches from the ground and moving them to the curb or other appropriate locations. Volunteer your help. I want to Donate to help. Metro United Way is making a special request for donations in support of the additional emergency food, shelter, transportation and medical needs that have surfaced as a result of the ice storm. ->
