Details

Did you know that the American Red Cross responds to a disaster every 8 minutes, and the vast majority of these are home fires? Sadly, every day seven people die from home fires, most in homes that lack working smoke alarms, with children and the elderly disproportionately killed. That's why the Red Cross launched the Home Fire Campaign in 2014. Since then, volunteers and partners have made over 300,000 households safer. Now were on the cusp of something big, and we need your help.

Saturday, April 27th, 2019, we are hosting the Sound the Alarm in Fresno.
We are counting on volunteers like you to help us to achieve our Central Valley chapter goals:
· install over 600 smoke alarms
· recruit over 200 volunteers

Here how you can help:
