American Red Cross reposted this
Just returned from touring devastated communities and American Red Cross relief operations in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Even amidst the tragic loss and damage, there is so much hope and humanity as I witnessed heroic work by our volunteers and partners, selfless effort by neighbors and the community, and an incredible spirit of resilience in those impacted. Today, even as more than 1,800 American Red Cross volunteers and staff are on the ground serving across 5 different states, the team in Florida is ramping up to open evacuation centers and prepare for the impact of Hurricane Milton as it approaches the west coast of the state. If you have ever considered serving, today is the day! The Red Cross is managing concurrent major relief operations and will need your support, both volunteers and donations, in the weeks and months ahead. Thank you so much to all who are serving and supporting! #RedCross #Helene #Milton
