American Red Cross needs volunteers!


The Northland Chapter of the American Red Cross is looking for community minded individuals who want to serve their neighbors in the region. In particular, with the recent rash of house fires, disaster volunteers are needed. “The Red Cross’s important assistance to offer immediate housing and other assistance to families who are impacted by a fire cannot be overstated,” said Virginia Fire Chief Allen Lewis. “The dedicated volunteers of the Red Cross are there to offer compassionate care and support to people whose lives have just been turned upside down. After the fire has been put out and the firefighters have returned to the fire station, the Red Cross remains with the affected individuals in helping them piece their lives back together.” Those interested in becoming a Red Cross volunteer should call the Northland Chapter of the American Red Cross at 218-722-0071.
