Judith Matteson to Head Red Cross Fund Drive

The American Red Cross of St. Joseph serves the greater St. Joseph area, Worth County 10 other counties in NW Missouri & NE Kansas. They are primarily funded from the St. Joseph United Way. The St. Joseph United Way would appreciate monies to be contributed by the outlying counties to help support Red Cross activities in those counties.

Red Cross delivered a total of 1200 meals on two different days to Worth County during the December 2007 ice storm. They furnish new clothing & food vouchers to Worth County residents who have suffered a house fire. They completely furnished our new “Shelter Trailer” with cots, blankets, MRE’s and first aid supplies. They help with many other items in Worth County as well as all over the world.

Worth County has been challenged with raising $1,000.00 as our share of funding for the year & Judith Matteson has again accepted the challenge of raising the funds. You may mail a donation with a check made out to American Red Cross to Judith Matteson at P.O. Box 101, Grant City, Mo. 64456 or you may donate online to http://american.redcross.org/goto/Judith-Matteson You should note on the bottom of the check-Worth County Hero.
