We celebrate our AmeriCorps members\u2019 accomplishments, thank them for their service, and recognize them for everything they do.\u00a0Our AmeriCorps members go above and beyond, and we are so grateful for them.\u00a0One day in particular highlighted their dedication, positivity, and eagerness to serve.<\/p>\n<p>On our Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, one of our members arranged for us to volunteer with Exodus Refugee Immigration in Indianapolis, Indiana.\u00a0Exodus Refugee Immigration works with refugees \u2014 worldwide victims of persecution, injustice, and war \u2014 to establish self-sufficient lives in freedom and sanctuary for themselves and their families in Indiana.\u00a0We were tasked with putting together an apartment for a family of three arriving from Myanmar within the following couple days.\u00a0Together, we went grocery shopping, assembled furniture, and put everything in its place.\u00a0Another member created a \u201cWelcome\u201d banner and another hand-made three paintings of flowers to liven up their new home.\u00a0Each member not only brought their positive energy, but also contributed to a binder full of resources to help the family get acquainted with their new city.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the day it was apparent how much these AmeriCorps members cared for others and their enthusiasm to help and serve others.\u00a0Jessica, the Volunteer Coordinator with Exodus Refugee, also noticed by saying, \u201cI wanted to send a <em>BIG thank you<\/em> to you for volunteering with Exodus Refugee on Martin Luther King Day.\u00a0You were one of the most fun groups to work with, with your positivity, your fun attitudes, and incredibly welcoming spirits.\u00a0 The unique ways that you welcomed the family was heartwarming.\u00a0I was informed that the family <em>loved<\/em> all of the nice touches you put on the apartment.\u00a0 The family certainly felt welcomed.\u00a0So, thank you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We would like to echo that thanks.
