Red Cross Volunteers and Staff outside of Long Island Red Cross chapter. |
Last Week in Review
- On Friday, Red Cross Volunteer Diane Phillips discussed the rewarding, yet often emotionally challenging experience of doing casework for Service to the Armed Forces via our Instagram series #MyRedCrossLife.
- Wednesday, Citi Bike launched its Citi Bike for Good campaign at Madison Square Park to help raise funds for the Red Cross, YMCA and No Kid Hungry. From September 16 to October 16, rides with Citi Bike could help raise up to $50,000 for each charity.
- The magazine of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement featured the Greater New York Red Cross in an article titled “Comfort after tragedy, with help from technology” (with photos by volunteer photographer Marko Kokic).
- Tuesday afternoon, the Red Cross responded to a fire in Long Island City and assisted three adults and two children with temporary housing and emergency financial assistance for basic necessities.
- Also on Tuesday, Metro New York North Red Cross and the Peekskill CERT worked together to plan a future free smoke alarm install day in October.
- Senator Phil Boyle thanked the Red Cross for our participation in the Disaster Preparedness Workshop that was hosted by the Senator and the Islip Chamber of Commerce on Long Island.
- On Monday, Red Cross volunteers provided comfort and support at the funeral of beloved Yonkers Police Lt. Roy McLaughlin.
