HEROES CAMPAIGN "GIVE WHERE YOU LIVE"
Every day the American Red Cross sends heroes to help people in their greatest time of need. Whether that need is due to a fire that has destroyed a home or a natural disaster that has left thousands without food or shelter - volunteers of the American Red Cross come to the rescue and become heroes to those they serve. The Greater New River Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross is extending a need to area residents, businesses and organizations to become heroes - just GIVE WHERE YOU LIVE to support the annual Heroes Campaign. Locally, more than 150 people are assisted each year by our local Red Cross which responds to fires, floods, natural and manmade disasters. These vital services cannot continue without the support of the community. Disasters Happen - there is no schedule for when disaster will strike next. It doesn’t only happen during the hours of the work day or the days of the work week. Disaster doesn’t care if it is raining, snowing or if the sun is beating down at 110 degrees. It doesn’t discriminate against age, ethnicity, economic class or social status. For these reasons, our local Red Cross Chapter must be prepared at any time of day or night under any circumstances to provide even just the basic necessities for survival. A successful Heroes Campaign will mean supplies for shelters, training, and expanded services. Residents, businesses and organizations can become heroes today by raising $1,000 for the campaign. Chapter Board Chairman Richard Sanford states, “The success of this chapter depends on the success of this campaign.” Chapter Director Paula Downs sums it up..."Our Help Depends On Your Help - please GIVE WHERE YOU LIVE." Become a Hero today — you or someone you love may be the one in need tomorrow. _______________________________________ Go to www.marrow.org and click donor resources, then "how do I join" to get your home test kit to BE A MARROW DONOR!
