There were also crafts for adults and children. Donations made to the Red Cross stay within this community, either by paying for training of volunteers, aid for fire victims, or food and/or clothing for families displaced by disaster. The Red Cross gets no federal funding, despite having a federal mandate to respond to disasters and they receive no United Way funding. The Red Cross survives solely on donations.
Funds raised supports disaster relief, fire victims, emergency military communications, first aid and CPR training and disaster preparedness right here in South Central Kentucky. The South Central Kentucky Chapter serves Allen, Butler, Edmonson, Logan, Monroe, Simpson and Warren Counties-more than 205,000 people.
Becky and Barbara are truly Red Cross Heroes!
