How to help in Graves County
Individuals interested in volunteering should contact Volunteer Coordinator Austin Avallone at volunteer@recovermayfieldgraves.com
Austin Avallone, LTRG Volunteer Coordinator
Austin and his wife Bailee are from Martin, Tn. They have a daughter named Lenora and are expecting a second child in January!
Austin comes on board to tackle one of the most important pieces of our New Lease On Life program for tornado survivors: finding skilled labor volunteers.
The lack of skilled laborers has significantly delayed rebuilding and repair efforts.
We are very excited to have Austin coordinating these efforts with local volunteers and those from across the country!
If you know a skilled laborer that can help, or if you or your group are interested in volunteering, please reach out to Austin at volunteer@recovermayfieldgraves.com.
