'BonaResponds' Gets People Involved - WGGB abc40/FOX 6: News, Weather, Sports: Springfield, MA:

Here is a video of Jenna Hagist (a Springfield TV reporter) who came to volunteer with us today:

"A group of students and professors from St. Bonaventure University in New York that has been spending their time here in Springfield helping families cleanup from the June 1st tornadoes. They call themselves BonaResponds, and now I'm an official member.

'Honestly it's the greatest feeling in the world. I enjoy every minute of what I have done so far and working with a bunch of people I just met,' said volunteer Jessica Misiaszek.

This cleanup group was created right after Hurricane Katrina and since then they've responded to disasters in 14 different states.

'It's been great even though we've been at this since 2006, this is now the third generation of kids we've had come through. They are still wanting to help,' said Bonaventure University Professor Jerry Godbout.
