Well-trained American Red Cross caseworkers continue to meet with homeowners in Beaver Crossing, Sutton and Cordova, to meet their immediate needs and begin to create individual family recovery plans.

American Red Cross volunteers are participating in the multi-agency resource center (MARC) at the Methodist Church in Beaver Crossing, working alongside partnering agencies including the United Methodist, Nebraska VOAD and Veteran’s Services to provide a convenient one-stop center for affected families.

“Today our Red Cross disaster workers will continue to hand out coolers of ice, snacks, waters, work gloves, trash bags, and comfort kits to Beaver Crossing residents,” said Jill Orton, Regional Disaster Officer. “Since the storm passed, the Red Cross has delivered more than 3,000 meals, snacks and drinks and handed out 114 comfort kits.”

The Nebraska Emergency Management Agency and Gary Petersen, director of emergency management in Seward County, are asking volunteers who want to help, to call the Seward County Emergency Management office at (402) 643-4722 and leave their name and number. The office will coordinate matching volunteers with the work that needs to be done in the communities.

The Red Cross says it depends on the generosity of the American people to fulfill their mission. To help disaster victims please contact the American Red Cross redcross.org, or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.
