The Unity Campaign for Frederick County
Getting up at 2 in the morning might seem like a hard way to start the day, but when a home fire breaks out, day or night, volunteers on a Red Cross Disaster Action Team or DAT are often some of the first people on the scene.
DAT volunteers are specially trained to assist those affected by local disasters by listening and meeting a family’s immediate needs. This may include providing water, snacks, and hygiene kits which contain basic personal care items. Red Cross volunteers also distribute preloaded cash cards that allow families to reserve a hotel room, purchase meals, and other supplies like clothing or prescriptions if they had to run out with nothing.
Each month, through the generosity of donors, like you, the Red Cross delivers approximately $2,000 in direct financial assistance to your neighbors in Frederick County who are displaced by a fire or natural disaster.
This is just one of the many services the Red Cross provides to the people in Frederick Co. We also work with active duty, retired military and their families. We collect, process and distribute blood products to those who have cancer or who need surgery. We provide skills training like CPR and First Aid.
Whichever way you’ve chosen to give, your time as a blood donor, your talents as a volunteer or your financial gift, thank you.
