The American Red Cross provides immediate, emergency financial assistance for families who have lost their clothing and food due to a house fire or other disaster. Temporary lodging is provided, if needed, as well as help with minor repairs and life-sustaining medication. Comfort kits containing personal hygiene supplies, cleaning supplies, blankets and stuffed animals for children are given. All disaster assistance is given according to individual verified damage assessments.
Mass Care feeding in shelters and canteens for the firemen and other disaster workers on a disaster scene are also provided by the local disaster relief fund. All assistance is made available to those needing assistance by donations from individuals, businesses and organizations and proceeds from special event fundraisers through the American Red Cross.
A limited number of tickets are now on sale at the Clearfield-Jefferson Chapter American Red Cross office, 1100 S. Second Street or Sandee’s Gifts on Third Street.
