"Cultivating community driven relationships and working with multidisciplinary teams are critical in addressing health inequities. I support national service because I believe that it is our civic duty as citizens to serve our most vulnerable communities."

Closing out #AmeriCorpsWeek with one more featured #ServiceStory:

Lubna’s @AmeriCorps service with @FoodDepository helped her see that many households are food insecure and residing in food desert areas.

Through her service experience, she further understood the need to educate people on how to prepare foods in healthy ways, as well as work towards effective policy changes that will address the social determinants of health and promote significant behavioral changes.

Adam served with @RedCrossIL. As an @AmeriCorpsVISTA, he led outreach and partnership efforts for the ARC's Team FireStopper's (TFS) program, with a goal to prevent fires in the home and mitigate their impact on vulnerable populations in Chicago and the suburbs.
