“Disasters like Superstorm Sandy devastate communities,” said Regional Chief Development Officer Sandy Matheson. “Donations ensure the American Red Cross can provide warm meals, shelter and hope to families when they need it most.
“Anyone unable to drop off contributions may visit redcross.org or call 1-800-REDCROSS, with all financial donations benefitting the Red Cross Disaster Relief response to Hurricane Sandy. Currently, close to 50 East Tennessee volunteers have joined almost 4,000 Red Cross disaster responders assigned to the operations on the Atlantic Seaboard.”
