Ripple Effects

As Red Cross Month comes to a close, I just wanted to take a moment to say “Thank You”.

 Thank You to those who support the American Red Cross by giving of their time and talents – to help provide services to those who need them most. Whether it’s through CPR/First Aid Training, Water Safety Training, Disaster Relief Work, Community Disaster Education Presentations, Service to Armed Forces, or the hundreds of additional programs across the country.

Thank You to those who support the American Red Cross financially – your donated dollars or in-kind donations make it possible to provide a family who has lost their home a safe place to sleep or to replace vital medications lost in a disaster. We’re told time and time again that the most effective and efficient way to assist after a disaster is through financial support – and time and time again, our communities come through for us.

Thank You to those who support the American Red Cross by donating blood or blood products – literally giving of yourselves so that others will live is an amazing examply of generosity towards your fellow man.

So, whether you’re a Volunteer, Financial Donor, Corporate Partner or Blood Donor – Thank You.  For without you, countless individuals would never know that their community is there for them.  See, that’s technically what Red Cross Month is all about.  Encouraging and celebrating our communities’ support of the American Red Cross, allowing us the priviledge of continuing to provide humanitarian services to those who need it most.
