The American Red Cross Lakeland Chapter responded to a house fire that occurred on Saturday, February 28, around 3:30am, on the west side of Green Bay effecting two adults and five children.
Two American Red Cross Disaster workers assisted the family with lodging, monetary assistance for clothing, seasonal garments, baby items and meals. We also provided the family with comfort kits (which include soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, washcloth, comb, facial tissue, deodorant, razors, shaving cream and lotion) and homemade quilts.
Red Cross disaster assistance is free and is made possible by community donations. You can help individuals of this disaster and others by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross Lakeland Chapter’s local disaster relief fund.
