Mark Kumro, a Red Cross volunteer
for three years, was one of the volunteers who made the trip to the Carolinas
to help with Hurricane Florence relief.
Mark became a volunteer after retirement and says that anyone who is
considering volunteering should consider the Red Cross because of the variety
and flexibility of ways you can help.
In the Carolinas, Mark worked in an
Emergency Response Vehicle and a regional kitchen, helping deliver food to
shelters. This is Mark’s third
deployment. To help provide support to residents of the affected communities,
Mark and the other Red Cross volunteers talked positively and asked how they
were doing. He says the people in the community were very appreciative of the
work being done to help them. One story that stuck out to Mark was a disabled
man who always seemed to be in a good mood even after the disaster, and enjoyed
visiting with Mark and the other Red Cross volunteers. Mark says that he always
feels good to give back and help.
