American Red Cross Assists a Family Affected by Early Morning Home Fire in Sturgeon Bay

The American Red Cross Lakeland Chapter responded to a home fire in Sturgeon Bay around 1:30am on Thursday, December 10. The fire displaced one family of two adults and two children.

Two American Red Cross Disaster workers assisted the family based upon their immediate emergency need with hotel, monetary assistance for clothing and food. 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 volunteers also assisted 30 emergency personnel responding to the fire with water and Gatorade.  

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.
