Preparedness Walk Partners Needed

Again this year, during September, National Preparedness Month, Darke County Emergency Agencies, American Red Cross, Emergency Responders and volunteers are going door to door to over 3000 homes with packets of preparedness. Of special interest this year are the inclusion of preparedness items, such as the Vial of Life, with help from Pepsico, First Aid kits and other items by Wayne HealthCare and Sunscreen from Dayton Power and Light. Packets are packed and ready to go, but what is needed are the volunteers willing to walk door to door and deliver the packets. Walkers, Runners, Local Company Employees, 4-H Groups, Scouts, Churches, Families, Organizations, Businesses, Schools, Service Organizations are all invited to participate on September the 8th from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. Some groups even wear their uniforms or company logo shirts on the walk. All volunteers will be badged and receive a safety orientation before beginning.

Volunteers will go out in teams to assigned neighborhoods and all materials needed. To help in this project, simply call the American Red Cross Darke County Chapter at 548-1002 or email Lynne.Gump@Redcross.org.
