Grant Description

The purpose of the program is to fund a nationally recognized community volunteer and support organization to develop plans to recruit, train, and maintain volunteers. The targeted impact of the FOA is to enhance community resilience and provide another volunteer tool in the community response toolbox. These volunteers would support the state and local public health agencies during a dispensing campaign. The awarded organization should develop an exportable model with transferrable plans and toolkits that can be disseminated to other community organizations for their consideration and use.
