The local AmeriCorps is partnering with RSVP of Genesee County and the Genesee Region Citizen Corps Council to hold an event on the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance.
In keeping with the theme “A Time to Remember, a Time to Prepare," AmeriCorps members and RSVP volunteers will be at Home Depot in Batavia 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sunday Sept. 11 to help local citizens honor those who serve and learn how to prepare for emergencies.
Residents will be able to write messages of support and memories of 9/11 on a large banner that will be displayed at several different locations during the month of September. Emergency preparedness information will be distributed.
Donations of emergency supplies will be collected and given to senior citizens. Ladder trucks from the Town of Batavia and LeRoy fire departments will be in the parking lot. The event will also feature a kids craft activity and a chance to win an emergency supply kit.
