Aid for Victims of Crime, Inc. (AVC) recently announced the kick-off for the development of a Good Samaritan chapter in the Seventh (Union) police district. (A chapter is also being initiated in the Penrose (5th) district.) The Good Samaritan Network chapters shall consist of residents who complete AVC’s volunteer training program and, then, are on-call to help other neighbors recover from the physical, emotional, and financial trauma of victimization. Good Samaritan volunteers provide a variety of neighbor-to-neighbor services—staff AVC’s crime victims’ Hotline,” do emergency home repair following burglaries, provide transportation to home and hospital visits, give criminal justice system guidance, and help victims of violent crimes file claims with the State Victim Compensation Program. Agencies and institutions serving the areas are invited to join the Network to make their services more accessible to crime victims.
According to Ed Stout, AVC Executive Director, “The purpose of the Network is to involve citizens in creating a community that is more responsive to the needs of crime victims, by preparing neighbors to help one another in time of victimization.” Speakers are available for community, civic, and church groups.
To schedule a speaker or to get more information, interested citizens and organizations should call Karriem Abdullah at the AVC office, 531-2597. (The contact for the 5th district is Mae Etta Collier at the North Side Team Ministry, 534-5656.)
