Red Cross Volunteer LeaAnn Layne looked on craigslist for shelving units that could help organize stuff in the disaster department at the local Red Cross chapter. She ran across some shelves posted by Roger Gillinger that sounded perfect. The problem? Money. Red Cross funds are focused on services, not infrastructure. While this small detail would likely deter most craigslist sellers, Gillinger had several positive experiences with the Red Cross as a military member and a police officer. After seeing the Red Cross office, he agreed to donate the shelves, and made another suggestion. He was aware of a friend's son looking for an Eagle Scout project and offered to reach out to see if they would be interested in helping with the delivery and installation of the shelves. They were! Aaron Maier and several other scouts spent a nine-hour workday installing shelves and even reorganizing and putting away the contents on those shelves. The Red Cross is truly grateful to Roger Gillinger, LeaAnn Layne, Aaron Maier and all of the scouts and family members that made this project possible and helped bring some organization into the Red Cross!
