March is National Red Cross Month, a perfect time to stop by one of the following blood drives near you and give the gift of life.
March is National Red Cross Month, a perfect time to stop by one of the following blood drives near you and give the gift of life.
Assuming the world doesn't end on Dec. 21st (let's say for argument sake, it won't, or didn't depending on when you read this), the new year will bring with it a high demand for blood. In an effort to keep up supplies, the Southwestern Indiana Red Cross will host several blood drives across the Evansville area beginning New Year's Day.
The holidays are a double-edged sword for the American Red Cross. The need for blood increases while the number of donors decreases as people focus on their holiday plans. In an effort to make to sure their supply is ready for whatever the holiday season throws at them, the Southwestern Indiana Chapter of the Red Cross will be staging several blood drives across the tri-state from December 1st - 15th.
The organization's fourth annual "Totes for Hope" campaign is accepting donations through Monday, November 5th.
Starting today, the tri-state is expected to have record high temperatures reaching as high as 105 degrees. The Evansville Red Cross will have cooling stations positioned around the area, and to keep your family safe, they have released a list of helpful survival tips
In the aftermath of this morning's tornado, the Red Cross has done what the Red Cross does frankly, and made itself available to those affected by this mornings events and offered information to those of us who weren't affected but would like to help out our friends and neighbors in the Newburgh and Henderson areas.
The rain has already begun as the East Coast prepares for Hurricane Irene to make landfall on Saturday. The storm is expected to have a very large path of destruction spanning from the Carolinas to as far north as Massachusetts
Believe it or not, the 2011 school year is almost here and not everyone can afford the supplies needed to ensure a successful school year for the children. Join 106-1 KISS-FM & CBS 44 on behalf of the American Red Cross - Evansville in making sure the children of our local military families have everything they need for the new school year.
News 25 meteorologist Scott Dimmich reports that a excessive heat warning is in effect for the entire tri-state area today and a heat advisory is in effect tomorrow.
Obviously what this means is that it will just be stupid hot with the temperature hitting the high 90's and the heat index touching anywhere between 100-120 degrees.
Needless to say, but if you don't need to be outdoors for an extended periods of time, don't be. However, that's impossible for many people whose jobs require being outside. In the event that you absolutely MUST be outdoors today, keep these tips in mind:
