Volunteer Center to host community 9/11 Cards and Letters to First Responders Project

The Nature Coast Volunteer Center (NCVC) a division of Citrus County Community Services Department and Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) will be hosting a 9/11 Cards and Letters to First Responders Project.

NCVC staff will be collecting cards and letters of encouragement and appreciation from residents that staff will deliver to first responders in our community on September 11, 2020. Cards and letters should be addressed to the Nature Coast Volunteer Center, 2804 W. Marc Knighton Court, Lecanto, FL 34461 and can be written to first responders at the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office, Citrus County Fire Rescue, Nature Coast EMS, Crystal River Police Department, Crystal River Fire Rescue and Inverness Fire Rescue.

This year marks the 19th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and has been designated as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. On this day, Americans all across the country volunteer in their local communities as a tribute to the individuals lost and injured in the attacks, first responders, and the many who have risen in service to defend freedom.

This day of service is a way to honor those who were lost and to rekindle the spirit of unity and compassion that followed the attacks. For questions and additional information about this project, please call 352-527-5959.
