Annual Red Cross Fund Drive Begins for Worth County

Judith Matteson will again chair the Red Cross Fund Drive for our county. Worth County has been challenged with raising $1,000.00. The American Red Cross of Greater St. Joseph serves this county as well as 10 others in our region. The Red Cross delivered 1200 meals to Worth County during the ice storm, they furnish new clothing, food & medication vouchers for families without insurance that have suffered the devastation of a house fire. Red Cross completely furnished our Shelter Trailer with cots, blankets, MRE's, personal care kits & other items free of charge to the county and will furnish more cots if needed. They came to the Grant City Square Fire and would have sent more people and food had the community not already stepped up to furnish food for all the fire fighters. You may mail a check to Judith Matteson, P.O. Box 101, Grant City, Mo. 64456. The check should be made to American Red Cross with Worth County Hero in the note portion of the check. You may also donate online at http://american.redcross.org/goto/JudithMatteson, the fund drive runs to the end of March, but donations will be cheerfully accepted at any time.
