More Upstate Volunteers Deployed in Horry County

Several additional Volunteers from the Upstate area are headed downstate to assist with the Disaster Response to the wildfires. Robert Neal and Joe Hawkins left in the Upstate's ERV (Emergency Response Vehicle), and Joe Land and Wayne Deitz left Spartanburg this morning driving the Piedmont Chapter's ERV. Mike and Jan brown also headed to Horry County to assist with the sheltering operation.

We realize that not everyone has the time or circumstances necessary to devote to being a Disaster Volunteer in the field. We have many other Volunteer opportunities -- we will find the right fit for you if you want to help. Not everyone can ride in the ERV to North Myrtle Beach, but the need for Volunteers who can make phone calls and stuff envelopes is just as great right now.

If you would like to Volunteer in any capacity, please call your local American Red Cross office OR toll free 1-800-839-8839.

Be the Hands That Give!
