The Alexandria Red Cross has deployed many volunteers down to the Gulf Coast to help victims of Hurricane Gustav and Ike.
Volunteers bring refreshment (water, snacks, and meals), clean-up supplies (Clorox, gloves, tarps, yard tools, garbage bags), and encouragement to people they meet.
For more information visit the Online News Room and register on the Safe and Well list.
The best way to help is by donating to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. To contribute to the fund, call 1-800-REDCROSS or mail your donation to the Alexandria Red Cross. You can also make a secure online contribution by clicking here.
Save the date for the Alexandria Red Cross Volunteer Celebration on October 29th from 6-8pm. We hope to see all of our favorite volunteers here at the Chapter House as we celebrate another great year. To RSVP please contact Joan Moser.
