Last night, while you slept—Red Cross volunteers were providing food, shelter, and clothing for a local family who lost their home in a fire. A Red Cross trained citizen performed CPR on a heart attack victim, keeping him alive until the ambulance arrived. The Red Cross delivered a message to a Ft. Benning soldier in Iraq, letting him know he is a father and that wife and baby are fine.

Heckler Koch announces Partnership with Local Red Cross and Issues Corporate Challenge to Support Haiti Relief
Heckler Koch President, Wayne Weber, and HK Operations Manager, Richard Grantham, present a Corporate Challenge donation for relief to Haiti to Chapter Executive Director, Sharon Lyon, and Development Director, Mitzi Oxford.
Heckler Koch—USA President Wayne Weber announced a partnership with the West Central GA Chapter which includes a commitment of $10,000 a year for the next 3 years at a Press Conference held at the Chapter House Wednesday, January 27. Community leaders, Red Cross Board members and local media were on hand as Mr. Weber talked about the important work of Red Cross for families in crisis and for soldiers and their families.
“As someone whose Mother lived through Hurricane Katrina and who has served in the military,” said Weber, “I feel supporting Red Cross is the right thing to do and Heckler Koch is committed to this partnership with Red Cross and this community.”Weber also initiated a challenge on behalf of Heckler Koch in support of Red Cross relief in Haiti. “Today we challenge every business, large and small, to donate and match Heckler Koch’s donation of $1000 or give more, if they can. Right now Red Cross needs us and Haiti needs Red Cross,” Weber added.Red Cross Leadership Advisory Council Chairman Bob Poydasheff commended Weber and Columbus Operations Manager, Richard Grantham, in support of disaster relief in Haiti and the great benefits of Heckler Koch’s financial support, especially for Red Cross services to military families.Mitzi Oxford noted the Heckler Koch motto “No Compromise” was most appropriate for the partnership as it represents the attitude of Red Cross staff and volunteers in delivering Help and Hope down the street, across the country, and around the world when it’s needed most.Help and Hope for Haiti t-shirt
