The American Red Cross of the Quad Cities has been busy.
With two volunteers heading to Oregon to help those dealing with the wildfires on the West Coast, another hurricane threatening the Gulf Coast, and those still recovering from last month’s derecho, the Red Cross of the Quad Cities’ resources are being stretched thin.
“We are a lot of different places right now, we are in California, Oregon, Washington helping with the wild fire response. We are still working on little bit of wrap up from the derecho in the Cedar Rapids area. We are also working with Hurricane Laura and now we are planning for the landfall of Hurricane Sally probably sometime tomorrow,” says Trish Burnett of the American Red Cross of the Quad Cities. “The three things we really need right now are volunteers, financial donations, and blood donations. So any of those three are great opportunities to be a part of the Red Cross effort.”
Upcoming blood donation opportunities are listed below, or for other ways to contribute to the Red Cross, visit this webpage.
