Red Cross needs your support
Editor,
This holiday season, the Morgan-Lawrence County Chapter of the American Red Cross extends profound gratitude for the incredible support of the greatest force for compassionate action on earth–the residents of our community.
Because of your generosity, the Morgan-Lawrence Chapter of the American Red Cross has been able to give critical support to those affected by the hurricanes, while still providing help and hope to your neighbors in need here in our community.
As chairman of your local Red Cross, I am extraordinarily grateful to be associated with an organization that makes a difference in our community every day. The residents of our community who support the Red Cross through volunteer time, money or blood share in the special kinship of neighbors helping neighbors, whether they are around the block or across the globe.
It is only through your incredible generosity of spirit that the Morgan-Lawrence County Chapter of the American Red Cross stands ready to assist those in need, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Hurricanes are just part of the story. The Morgan-Lawrence County Chapter of the American Red Cross is made up of friends and neighbors responding to community disasters, including house and apartment fires, teaching first aid and CPR classes, collecting lifesaving blood, or helping members of the military stay connected.
We also help reconnect families separated by crisis and conflict around the world.
The Morgan-Lawrence County Chapter of the American Red Cross offers all of these services free of charge–but only thanks to the generous support of people like you.
While hurricanes capture headlines, it is more important than ever before to support the Morgan-Lawrence County Chapter so that on one in our community must ever face a disaster alone.
Charles B. Langham, Chapter Chairman
