“We are very grateful for the skill and expertise that Team Rubicon is bringing to the fight against COVID-19 in Philadelphia,” said FEMA Region 3 acting regional administrator, Janice Barlow. “Team Rubicon is an incredible organization that offers a new mission to veterans looking to continue their service. FEMA regularly works in partnership with Team Rubicon in our disaster response operations and we are really glad to be doing so again here in Philadelphia.”
More than 35 Team Rubicon volunteers, known as Greyshirts, have arrived from several states and nearby areas to provide various forms of non-clinical assistance at the vaccination center. They are filling important roles throughout the vaccination center and are directly engaged in guiding vaccination center clients through the experience, from start to finish.
“We are honored to be serving in this national life-saving mission,” said Rich Locke of Team Rubicon. “We have been in the fight against this pandemic from the beginning and we won’t stop until we beat COVID-19.”
