Over 107 blood drives, collecting 3,048 units of blood. Volunteers helped respond to 177 local disasters, including 121 residential fires.
We helped over 840 affected individuals and families with emergency food, shelter and supplies. All of these services are made possible by over 240 dedicated local Red Cross volunteers as well as through generous gifts from the local community.
