In 2010 the local Red Cross chapter suffered severe damage to it’s Riverside Drive location during the floods, but continued to assist other families in the area who were affected by the damage. The Red Cross moved to it’s temporary headquarters on the 41-a by-pass, then found a permanent home at 1760 Madison Street. The Red Cross is NOT a government agency and depends on generous gifts from the community to respond to disaster around the clock and around the block.
