Local volunteer offers a glimpse at Hurricane Sandy in NY

Local Volunteer Offers Glimpse of Relief Efforts

On October 29, 2012 the East Coast was devastated by Hurricane Sandy. With the help of the American Red Cross, families are beginning to rebuild their lives and restore hope to a city that lost so much.

A local Red Cross volunteer from Fort Wayne, IN who was serving on the disaster relief operation in New York City, created this video to offer a glimpse into the work that thousands of other Red Cross volunteers were doing to support Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.

About the American Red Cross

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. The American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana serves seven counties: Allen, DeKalb, Noble, Steuben, Wells and Whitley Counties in Indiana and Williams County in Ohio.
