🔥 Thursday Safety Tip:

Do not use an oven to heat your home! This could lead to a home fire, putting yourself and your family in danger.

Our volunteers loved attending the Petersburg Virginia program to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our Red Cross team tries to live by his quote: 'You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love,' to serve others. 💕

There are about half-million cardiac arrests each year. CPR can help save a life if someone stops breathing or their heart stops. CPR also doubles or triples the chance of survival when bystanders take action.

Please REMEMBER - Just 2 feet of flowing water can float your car and become a life-threatening situation.

With recent heavy rains, there are still roads closed from flooding & more rain is coming.

Don't forget to test your smoke alarms every month!

Most of us don’t realize we have just two minutes to escape a home fire — which is the nation’s most frequent disaster. On average, 7 people die every day from a home fire, most impacting children and the elderly.

January is National Blood Donor Month because it's often a challenging time for the U.S. blood supply due to lower donor turnout around holidays, severe winter weather & donor illness. The Red Cross has an EMERGENCY BLOOD SHORTAGE & needs your help! Give: rcblood.org/appt
