WEST FARGO – Two more Red Cross volunteers from our region are being deployed to Florida to assist in the recovery from Hurricane Idalia.
The volunteers are with the Minnesota and Dakotas region of the Red Cross. One of the volunteers is from West Fargo. The other is from Perham.
Along with other volunteers from the region, they are among crews from around the country helping load emergency vehicles and distributing food to hurricane victims.
Dan Williams is Executive Director of the American Red Cross serving northern Minnesota.
“So far, from our Minnesota-Dakotas region, there’s already over 15 people on the ground in Florida, and honestly, over the next several weeks, there will probably be several dozen more,” Williams said.
The two volunteers are flying out Friday.
