March is Red Cross Month.
Stand with your Red Cross Now and Make a Difference for Families who need Help and Hope. President Barack Obama, Georgia Governor Nathan Deal and Columbus Mayor Teresa Tomlinson have proclaimed March as Red Cross Month. Your West Central GA Chapter has been recognized as the oldest Chapter in the state and commended for providing round-the-clock help for families suffering from losses during a house fire, tornado, flooding and other disasters and for providing support for military families down the street, across the country, and around the world.
Please Join Us and consider donating your time as a volunteer, your blood, which is the Gift of Life or your money. Even a few dollars can mean the world of difference for a family who is left homeless and hopeless following a disaster.
Call the Chapter at 706.323.5614 or come by and see us at 3940 Rosemont Drive. Thank You on behalf of our staff, volunteers, and the thousands of families who depend on us to Always Be There!
Right now thousands of families have been devastated by tornadoes. Please Donate and Light a Candle of Hope.
The American Red Cross has launched a large relief operation across 11 states to help people affected by a devastating tornado outbreak in the South and Midwest. Weather experts reported as many as 95 confirmed tornadoes touched down, destroying communities from the Great Lakes to the Southeast.
“Our hearts go out to everyone who has been affected by this week’s severe storms,” said Charley Shimanski, senior vice president, Disaster Services. “Our top priorities right now are making sure people have a safe place to stay, a warm meal and a shoulder to lean on as they begin to clean up their neighborhoods. The Red Cross is also working closely with our government and community partners to make sure everyone gets the help they need.”
Friday night, the Red Cross opened or supported 22 shelters in Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Alabama, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Across the affected states, trained Red Cross disaster workers are mobilizing to begin feeding operations and distribution of relief supplies. Red Cross health services and mental health workers also will be out in neighborhoods help people cope with what they’ve seen and experienced. And damage assessment teams will also help the Red Cross and our partners discover the full scope of the damage.
THANK YOU to our Community Partners who support Red Cross in turning Heartbreak to Hope
