Did you know that this month is American Red Cross Month?⛑️ It's important to recognize the vital role that the organization plays in supporting communities across the country. One of the most critical areas of focus for the Red Cross is home fire prevention and relief.

As one of their Safety Campaigns, the Red Cross works to educate families on fire safety and prevention. In addition, they offer resources and support to help families get back on their feet after a fire, including temporary shelter, food, and clothing. This month, let’s take a moment to recognize the incredible work that the American Red Cross does to keep our communities safe. Whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or spreading the word about their important mission, we can all play a role to help make a difference! #americanredcrossmonth #americanredcross #providingaide #safetyfirst #firesafetyeducation #fireprevention #firerelief #jackwardfireconsultants #originandcausefireinvestiation #fireinvestigation

This #TriviaTuesday we're learning about Midwest Food Bank 🌽 Midwest Food Bank volunteers are more than hands and feet; they are fundamental to the success of the organization. They are structured to provide service opportunities and operate through the work of volunteers; they collect, sort, pack, and distribute food and disaster relief donations, a reminder every day that this mission could not be achieved without them. In 2022, more than 30,000 volunteers put in service hours to the equivalent of over 175 full-time employees! The service of these dedicated volunteers allows Midwest Food Bank to operate efficiently while keeping administrative costs low. They gain the unique perspective that worldwide hunger is prevalent, and their efforts can make a difference. In 2005, Midwest Food Bank saw first-hand that they could deliver hope and support to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. They decided to increase their capacity and work toward improving their disaster support coverage. This allowed them to serve more people more effectively! They also have a fleet of trucks and volunteer drivers standing ready. Food donations are picked up from across the country, delivered to their facilities, and distributed to those in need. How many hours of service did Midwest Food Bank's volunteers put in in 2022? A) 200,000 B) 250,000 C) 300,000 D) 350,000 See more about their missions and values here: https://lnkd.in/dvAj_hcs
