Red Cross Annual Meeting

TYLER � The Smith County American Red Cross Chapter will honor its outstanding volunteers and donors at its annual tonight. Each year the Smith County Red Cross Chapter responds to hundreds of family disaster victims who may need food, clothing, medications, shelter, and grief counseling. This assistance is free to families, made possible through financial donations from citizens. Volunteers donate time to help families with immediate disaster recovery needs, class instruction, military cases, and office tasks. According to staffers, the Red Cross works with the City of Tyler and the Smith County Emergency Management Offices to provide a safe place for disaster victims.

The public is invited to join the celebration and learn more about their local Red Cross Chapter. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. with dinner at the Lanes Chapel United Methodist Church located at 8620 Old Jacksonville Hwy. You can call 903-581-7981 to R.S.V.P. or for more information.
