President George W. Bush presented the President’s Volunteer Service Award to Susan Hoskins upon arrival at the airport in Kansas City, Missouri, on Thursday, January 25, 2007. Hoskins is a volunteer with the Mid-America Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) which serves the Kansas City metropolitan area. MRC, a program partner of Citizen Corps, was created in 2002 to augment public health and medical disaster response in local communities. To thank them for making a difference in the lives of others, President Bush honors a local volunteer, called a USA Freedom Corps Greeter, when he travels throughout the United States. President Bush has met with more than 550 individuals around the country, like Hoskins, since March 2002.
