The American Red Cross is in need of volunteers, especially for disaster services. Here are some photos from the damage caused by Hurricane Ike. Several volunteers from this area were sent to New Orleans and Houston to help with disaster assistance.
Christine Brady from the local chapter of the American Red Cross told us they need volunteers who are able to deploy for up to 21 days and help with national disasters like this. Volunteer positions, such as driving our Emergency Response Vehicles, would be great for retired couples who like to travel and help people.
The Tippecanoe County Chapter is hosting free training sessions this fall for people interested in becoming volunteers. If you are interested, call Chris Brady at (765) 742-6975.
