On the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s making landfall, the Corporation has released several new fact sheets and other materials that document the contributions that national service participants and other volunteers have made to the recovery effort:

* New broadcast-quality video footage highlights the vital contributions of volunteers in Katrina recovery and the ongoing need for more volunteers through footage of volunteers in action and soundbites from Federal Gulf Coast Recovery Coordinator Don Powell, Corporation CEO David Eisner, AmeriCorps members, and others.
* A new fact sheet, Volunteers Respond (78 KB PDF), highlights the activities and accomplishments of volunteer-driven national and Gulf-based organizations, who together have tapped the skills and talents of more than 1,150,000 volunteers from across the United States and around the world.
* “Hope and Help in the Gulf” videos and PSAs show the power of national service in responding to the hurricanes and ask viewers to serve in the Gulf as volunteers and AmeriCorps members.
