When Red Cross volunteer LeaAnn Layne answered an ad on Craigslist for a door, she didn't know that she would gain a friend to the Red Cross.
The Chisholm Trail Chapter needed a new door for its archives and records room - a solid door with a lock. Lacey Camp had a door and agreed to donate it to the chapter. While talking, LeaAnn mentioned how the chapter is always in need of Gatorade for Red Cross canteen trucks. These are trucks that are stocked with snacks and drinks for fire fighters and victims of disasters, as well as other comfort items such as blankets and comfort kits with hygiene items for families who have lost their personal effects in a fire or other disaster.
Gatorade is one of the more popular items on the canteen trucks and disappears quickly, as the Chisholm Trail Chapter responds to an average of almost two residential or apartment fires everyday.
Lacey approached the Arlington Area Newcomer's Club about collecting Gatorade.
"I approached my club about sponsoring a Gatorade drive and they were very excited about the prospect of helping our firemen and/or policemen. I just had the ladies bring Gatorade
to our meetings for a couple of months," Lacey said.
to our meetings for a couple of months," Lacey said.
They responded in full force. Lacey delivered the donation to the Chisholm Trail Chapter on Wednesday, May 13.
On behalf of all of the people who will benefit from this donation, the Red Cross would like to thank Lacey Camp and the Arlington Area Newcomer's Club. If you would like to make a donation to the Red Cross - give us a call at (817) 335-9137! We can't do it without you!
