East Rock neighborhood resident and social worker Tina Lindstrom entered a national video contest with
SaveService and
AmeriCorps Alums, explaining why she believes in service. The video was filmed on her front porch and features several photos of her work across the country where she volunteered, including Mississippi and post-Katrina Louisiana.
