Over the past couple of days volunteers across the state participated in Operation Cookie Drop where we delivered cookies to some fire departments thanking them for their partnership with Red Cross. Thank you to our volunteers and all of our first responders. #RedCrossWI #OperationCookieDrop #ChristmasinWisconsin #HappyHolidays #🍪Thank you Ariel & Erin for your incredible support of the Red Cross! 🙏🏼 They donated the money from their summer lemonade stand in Milwaukee to families in need after home fires and other disasters in their community. #redcrosswiThese photos of Chuck Patzer, West Jones and Jodi Grosinske are from our participation with veterans in need at the October Stand Down Madison event. “We provide things like food and offer help to people who need it,” Patzer explained. “It’s an emotional time, but the people we help are always thankful, even if they just needed a hug”. With veterans, Patzer said the most important thing he provides is comfort. Veterans who suffer from dementia may feel lost, so Patzer said he brings along animatronic animals to spark their memories of childhood pets. The sweet sounds these faux felines and canines make can help to ease stress for veterans he meets. It’s also an entry point, to talk, to listen, and to share. From there, Patzer said he can provide other hygiene basics on offer from the Red Cross and let them know their sacrifice and service are deeply appreciated. #redcrossWI
