Heroes
Around the world, around the nation, around the corner – there is a place where people help others in need.
-
When people will give whatever they can to feed and clothe victims of an unimaginable disaster a world away or a state away
-
Where business owners and community organizations raise funds to help provide food and shelter for thousands of people who have lost their homes and livelihoods whether they be in Southeast Asia, Florida or down the street
- Where a person will choose to leave the comfort of her own bed on a cold night to bring warmth and comfort and hope to a neighbor she may not know and may never see again
That place is Southeast Missouri and those kind people are generous residents and the trained and compassionate volunteers of the Southeast Missouri Chapter of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross is ready to respond to the emergency needs of each and every community, no matter how large or small the disaster.
How to become a Hero
While attention has been drawn this past year to the high-profile tragedies ensuing nationally and abroad, amazing achievements were also taking place in our own backyard. Many victims of local disasters, such as house fires, floods, storms and hazardous waste spills were given shelter, food, comfort, care and mental health counseling.
For more than 125 years local Red Cross chapters have provided our communities with heroes; volunteers who saved lives and helped countless families survive and recover from disasters. Now we are asking you to be a HERO for the American Red Cross by participating in our chapter’s 2011 HEROES campaign.
Now, we ask you to demonstrate your leadership again to guarantee that we can take care of disaster victims right here in the Southeast Missouri region.
To become a HERO for the American Red Cross, you or your organization agrees to raise funds ($1,000) through any legal means you choose. You or a representative of your organization will be recognized at the 2011 annual meeting.
A representative of the Southeast Missouri Chapter can be contacted at cklueppel@semoredcross.org or at
(573)335-9471 to discuss you, your business or organization’s participation in this humanitarian effort.
