After a year of service to Habitat for Humanity of Adams & Juneau Counties and the local community, John Hunter will conclude his term with the AmeriCorps VISTA program this month. John has been the Donation Coordinator at the Mauston ReStore throughout his VISTA term. His work has included scheduling donations, marketing and advertising to solicit material donations to the ReStore, and writing and designing the newsletter.

Stepping in to the Donation Coordinator role is Kevin Anderson, who started his one year term as a VISTA in mid-June. Kevin recently moved to Mauston from just outside of Washington D.C. Last year he served a one year term with FEMA Corps, a branch of AmeriCorps dedicated to disaster preparedness, response, and relief. Prior to working with FEMA Corps, Kevin studied graphic design at the Art Institute of Washington. He will be using the skills he learned there to help Habitat and the ReStore in designing marketing materials, which will be just one of many roles he will fill for Habitat.

As of April, Habitat for Humanity of Adams & Juneau Counties has moved into the third year of its partnership with the AmeriCorps VISTA program. This year the affiliate and ReStore will host three one-year VISTAs and three summer VISTAs.
