Dear ENCorps Volunteer, As an ENCorps member, we know you are tirelessly working to make your community a better place by offering your time, talent, and skills for free to local organizations, projects, and initiatives. Recognizing that sometimes a volunteer project needs a little boost to make it successful, we are offering an opportunity for our members to apply for stipend support for their community work. This year, we are taking a special interest in food insecurity, an issue that has been dramatically increasing for Maine children and adults. People who are food insecure do not know where their next meal will come from and often have to make difficult choices between buying food and paying bills. We are pleased to announce the availability of volunteer stipends to support your volunteer role in increasing access to affordable and nutritious foods for Maine’s children and adults in need. More details about this great opportunity: There are 20 stipends available. If selected by ENCorps staff from the pool of applicants, volunteers will receive a stipend of up to $300 dollars. Any active ENCorps volunteer can use the attached form to submit a stipend request. If you receive a stipend, we would like to visit you while you at your volunteer location so we can see your work in action and learn more about the important work you are doing in your community. Projects that receive stipends will be featured in the ENCorps newsletter and at the 2014 ENCorps summit! Please submit your request no later than the 15th of each month! The last round of stipend requests will be accepted on May 15, 2014. Please consider submitting a volunteer stipend request! See the information below and attached for more details. If you have any questions, please call Mia Noyes at 262-7931 or e-mail mia.noyes@umit.maine.edu.
