You Can Help

The winter season has been a busy one for local Red Cross Chapters.  Chapters throughout Eastern Massachusetts have responded to about 50 incidents, mostly home fires, and have expended over $100,000 assisting families with emergency assistance.  Red Cross Disaster Action Team volunteers help families who have lost their homes with food, clothing, and other emergency needs.  Although the current recession has resulted in a decrease in donations, the need for emergency assistance has not decreased.  You can help your neighbors by making a donation to your local Red Cross Chapter.  Please click here for information about making  a donation.  Thank you.
