Making Our Community Beautiful: The Red Cross
March is worldwide Red Cross month and we are excited to announce them as our March Charity of the Month. When I asked our local chapter to provide me with information on what services they offer in Jefferson City, I was amazed at the number of ways they are involved locally and the impact that has on our community. Here are just a few of the things they do:
Support local disaster relief:
- n
- Provide victims who have lost their homes with a Comfort Kit
- Blankets
- Voucher for a hotel stay
- Debit card to redeem for immediate personal needs
n
Help connect victims to local resources to help rebuild their lives and provide a shoulder to lean on.
Provide lifesaving skills training including:
- n
- CPR
- First aid
- Babysitter training
- AED (automatic external defibrillator) training
n
Recruit and train volunteers to be ready to respond to emergencies including house fires and natural disasters.
Offer emergency communications services to all of our deployed military.
Their reach is far and wide and we are happy to help them achieve these goals!
