The American Red Cross is in the disaster response business. However, we can’t do this job alone. Partnerships are critical, and I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about a working partnership between the Red Cross and the Jeffersonville Township Trustee’s Office.

The trustee’s office is unusual in that they take the initiative to contact our office to see if we need help in serving those affected by disaster, whether it be fire, flood, windstorm or other catastrophic event. Likewise, they are readily available to us when we call for help.

With Dale Popp at the helm of the Jeffersonville Township Trustee’s Office, he and his staff have provided invaluable support to the Red Cross, and therefore, to our clients. Not only have they provided financial support when needed, but also a level of compassion which is a credit to his office.

On behalf of the Clark County Red Cross, I would like to say thank you.

-Phyllis Wilkins, Executive Director, Clark County Red Cross
