American Red Cross Helps Displaced Monroe Family After Fire Destroys House

From the American Red Cross:

The American Red Cross is helping a family of two adults with emergency food and clothing needs after a fire early Saturday morning, October 11, on Fox Run in Monroe. The Red Cross provided help with emergency food and clothing needs. The family was able to make alternate housing arrangements. Red Cross volunteers Mark Rozelle and Mike Vincelli responded to assist the residents.

The Red Cross is also providing comfort kits containing personal care items such as toothbrushes, deodorant, shaving supplies and other items a family might not have been able to gather in the rush to escape the fire.

American Red Cross disaster assistance is free of charge, a gift made possible by generous donations and the work of volunteers. For more information about the Red Cross and how you can help, visit www.redcross.org.
