 The fire occurred at 702 Oglesby in Lincoln. American Red Cross
Disaster Action Team volunteers provided the three affected
individuals with Red Cross financial assistance for food and
clothing. The family also received Red Cross comfort kits.
The community can help those affected by future disasters by
volunteering with the American Red Cross and by making financial
contributions to local disaster relief. Contributions can be made by
visiting
www.il-redcross.org to make an online donation, texting REDCROSS
to 70000 or calling 217-787-7602.
All American Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible
by voluntary donations of time and money from the American people.
The best way to help those affected by disasters is through a
financial donation to the American Red Cross. Donations of money
help tailor disaster relief to the needs of victims and restore the
economic vitality of disaster-affected communities. Gifts enable the
Red Cross to provide shelter, food, emotional support and other
assistance to victims of all disasters. On those rare occasions when
donations exceed Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster,
contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other
disasters.
