This year marks 100 years of service to the Nashville area community. As our Centennial year comes to a close, let’s reflect on what we have accomplished together so far in 2017:
(Numbers are from January 1, 2017 through October 31, 2017)
• 1,042 volunteers have served our community.
• 348 families assisted after 185 disaster incidents. Volunteers on our disaster action team (DAT) provided emergency assistance for immediate needs such as shelter, food and clothing.
• 111 volunteers from the Nashville Area Chapter made 239 deployments around the country to help people affected by the hurricanes, wildfires and other disasters.
• 651 third through fifth graders who are now prepared for a disaster through The Pillowcase Project.
• 1,027 free smoke alarms installed in homes.
• 9,967 community members trained in life saving courses like CPR, First Aid, and AED.
• 285 services provided to military members, veterans and their families to help them prepare for, cope with, and respond to, the challenges of military service.
• 3,990 Red Cross mobile app downloads to help you prepare for a disaster, receive important weather alerts, learn first aid techniques, and more.
And, the year is not over yet. Our Red Cross team is hard at work to serve our mission.
Thank you all for your support (time, talent and treasure). Here’s looking forward to 2018 and the next 100 years!
