With the assistance of fellow Red Cross volunteers, they have provided food, shelter, medical care and emotional support to victims. When they are not responding to a disaster, you can often find the Himplers at local schools and day camps where they take the Emergency Response Vehicle and educate children about vital role of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. Assistance is provided to victims of fires, storms, floods, hurricanes, and other occurrences, which may include food, shelter, and clothing. The Red Cross is not a government agency.
Assistance is free and made possible by financial contributions from the community.
