Large Volunteer Need for Community Vaccination Center at the Greenbelt Metro Station

The South Eastern District has reached out to Our Savior Lutheran Church looking for volunteers to be support staff at the Greenbelt Vaccination Center. Please read below to find more information on how to help and how to sign-up to volunteer!

“FEMA has tasked Maryland VOAD and its Member Organizations to recruit and manage the volunteers. We need 30 volunteers per day (divided between two shifts), 7 days per week, for 8 weeks. The site opens formally today, Wednesday, April 7th at Noon.  The tasks performed by Volunteers are light-duty:  Access and Functional Needs (helping to push a wheelchair, etc.), Traffic Flow/Greeter (traffic=people, not cars), wellness checkpoint, observation, exit guide, and registration support.”

Volunteers can register and sign up for volunteer opportunities on the DART platform:  www.mddart.org.  (DART stands for Disaster Agency Response Technology.)  Additional important information can be found at these links:
