Call (419-238-9977) or stop in at the office (208 E. Main St. Van Wert) to receive an order blank.  This is our once a year major fundraiser to help fund the services the American Red Cross delivers to the residents of Van Wert County all year long.

The Van Wert County Chapter will be having a fundraising event at the Walmart at the Town Center from 8:00 am until 2:00 pm. The local Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) will be there, and they will be giving out coffee, hot chocolate, and prizes to donors. Please visit the volunteers there and donate as much as you can.

After the event

The event at Walmart went much better than expected, with the very cold temperatures keeping people home. But there were volunteers willing to spend the time at Walmart, and they helped raise funds for both local and National Disaster Relief efforts.
Edie and Mark discuss prizes. Kevin and Eleanor campaign. Lori freezing outside the ERV. Lori is waiting for donors. Sherri, cheerful, despite the cold.
