For the Antigo Times

Trained Red Cross members remain onsite in Chetek and Conrath, Wisconsin providing as needed services to affected residents.  Significant home and business damage in both of these regions will require continued support and assistance.  The American Red Cross continues to collaborate with emergency management agencies and community leaders to provide any disaster related reliefavailable which includes: shelter, food/water, mental health, medical assistance, and coordination of pet care assistance through the Barron County Humane Society and a significant donation by Pet Supplies Plus. Trained staff will remain onsite in both locations until all of the needs of the residents are met and normal life routines have resumed.

Kyle Kriegel, American Red Cross local chapter executive shares, “Our hearts and prayers go out to all those impacted by the tornadoes. The Red Cross family is by your side and will be available to assist you during this difficult time.”

For families that still need assistance, Red Cross teams are available in the following locations:

Red Cross Assistance Centers

Barron County Reception Center

 St. Peters Catholic Church

Donation and Volunteer Assistance

It takes time and money to store, sort, clean and distribute donated items, which diverts limited time and resources away from helping those most affected. In contrast, financial donations can be accessed quickly and put to use right away to directly help and support those affected; with a financial donation, individuals can buy what they need and want.

Each disaster is unique and so are the needs of its victims. Financial donations are the quickest and best way to get help to the people who need it most. Even a small financial donation can go further than you might think. For instance, $2 can provide a snack to a child who just lost his or her home and $10 can provide a hot meal to that same child.

HOW YOU CAN HELP The Red Cross depends on the generous support of the American public to fulfill its crucial mission. Help people affected by disasters like floods, wildfires and countless other crises by making a donation to support Red Cross Disaster Relief. These gifts enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from disasters big and small. Make a donation today by visiting www.redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or texting the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 gift.
