Sometimes it’s easy to forget the American
Red Cross is always there. It may be because we don’t necessarily hear about it
every day and like most things when you don’t hear about it you forget.
In the midst of weeks of unsettled weather
and the busyness of summer, volunteers were hard at work in the Finger Lakes
and Wayne County. Below is a list of incidents our volunteers responded to and
provided help to those in need.
July 29th:
·
Volunteers assisted two adults with food and
housing after a single family home collapsed on West River Road in Waterloo,
Seneca County
· Volunteers assisted two families (two adults and six children) with food, clothing and transportation after an apartment building hazmat incident on West Bayard Street in Seneca Falls, Seneca County.
July 31st:
·
Volunteers assisted two adults and one child
with food following an apartment fire on West Main Street in Palmyra, Wayne
County
August 2nd:
·
Volunteers assisted two adults and one child with
food and housing after a tree fell onto a home on West Maple Street in Newark
during a thunderstorm.
August 3rd:
·
Volunteers assisted two adults, six children
and one infant with food, clothing and housing after their home flooded on
Seybolt Road in Seneca Falls, Seneca County.
· Volunteers assisted two adults and one child with food and housing after their home flooded on East Elisha Street in Waterloo, Seneca County.
Incidents from house fires to floods happen
often and the Red Cross is always there. It is not a question of if they
respond, it is when. As long as the need is there, volunteers will be there
too. The good work these people do is made possible through and only through
the generosity of donors. Please consider being a volunteer or making a
donation to the Red Cross to help people like these who need help when the
unexpected happens.
