VINTON — After the announcement of cuts to the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps program, which is sure to have an impact on the Vinton community, Vinton Newspapers reached out to Senator Chuck Grassley. His comments are below.
“Spending time serving others helps keep our communities strong. It’s why I encourage Iowans to volunteer with any civic organization in need of volunteers. I’m closely monitoring the situation with AmeriCorps as it unfolds, and as Iowa’s U.S. Senator, I’m passing on Iowans’ questions and concerns to the administration,” Grassley said.
