And often without recognition, for more than 130 years, the devoted women and men of the American Red Cross have responded to challenges at home and abroad with compassion and generosity. In times of conflict and great tragedy, they deliver humanitarian relief, save lives, and offer hope for a brighter tomorrow. Their service has meant so much to so many, and it reflects a fundamental American truth: “we look out for one another and we do not leave anyone behind.”
“I have been on many fires, floods, disasters both natural and manmade and the Red Cross – at all hours of the day, night, under hazardous conditions and extreme weather – are always there and can be counted on for both those victims in need and to provide support to First Responders says Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna.”
March is the month that we recognize the services of the members of the Red Cross. These everyday heroes are those who donate blood, volunteer, take a lifesaving class, host a blood drive or make a financial contribution.
“It doesn’t take superpowers to be a hero for someone in need – just a little time” reminds Chief DiGiovanna.
To the American Red Cross and all donors, your selfless contribution is duly noted and appreciated – Thank you!
Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna
