3 days ago The months of May and June bring welcome relief from the winter chill, but they also bring along an increased risk for severe weather in the Tri-State area, namely tornadoes.
March 1, 2013 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.
December 18, 2012 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.
November 20, 2012 As I mentioned in a previous entry, the holiday's provide a double-edged sword for the Southwestern Indiana Chapter of the American Red Cross. On one hand the demand for blood is at one of its highest points of the year, while on the other hand, supply is low as the hustle and bustle of the holiday season prevents people from finding time to donate.
October 30, 2012 The organization's fourth annual "Totes for Hope" campaign is accepting donations through Monday, November 5th.
March 6, 2012 If you're like me and my family, you're property managed to make it through last week's tornados largely unscathed. Our neighbors in Newburgh, New Harmony, Henderson, and Harrisburgh, IL were not as fortunate. If you'd like to help those in need as they put their lives together, the Southwestern Indiana Chapter of the American Red Cross has setup a few ways to make that happen.
February 29, 2012 If there's one positive that can come from a tragic event like this mornings tornados in Henderson County, parts of Newburgh, and Harrisburgh, IL, is that we can learn from it. As I mentioned earlier today, my family and I were fortunate that the storm stayed south of I-164 miles away from our home on the north side of Evansville. When we first heard a tornado had touched down south of Mt. Vernon around 5:30am and was heading east toward Evansville, we packed up the kids and made a bee-line for the basement just to be safe. But what if we weren't so lucky? Were we adequately prepared to deal with the aftermath if the storm had torn through our neighborhood instead? Honestly, no we weren't. But thanks to tips from the American Red Cross, we can be.
February 29, 2012 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.
