Please do everyone a favor and thoroughly clean the snow/sleet off of the roof of your vehicle if you plan on venturing out. Leaving this heavy, compacted snow and sleet on your car roof can be very dangerous when it eventually flies off and hits the cars behind you!

Today, the Kanawha County Commission recognized March 2025 as @RedCrossCAR Month! ❤️
The Commissioners approved $25,000 toward the Sound the Alarm program, which allows volunteers to install free smoke detectors in homes across the county. Working smoke detectors save lives!

Terri Mehling finds joy behind the wheel. Her love for the open road has taken her to every state in the country and just about every volunteer opportunity with the Red Cross.
Terri has volunteered her time with @RedCrossCAR since 2002. She has primarily served as an emergency response vehicle driver bringing food, water and supplies to communities in need after a disaster.
The sight of Terri driving a Red Cross vehicle isn't uncommon. She has driven them to support blood drives, represent her chapter in local parades, and lately, to serve our veterans.
When a local VA medical center in Virginia lost its shuttle service, Terri and her fellow volunteers stepped up to help. Terri is among the Red Cross drivers transporting vets to important doctor's appointments.
"I try to give a smile and get a smile from everyone," Terri said. "The men and women who get on the medical center’s shuttle have served and sacrificed for our country and I am thankful that I can provide this simple service for them.”
We're grateful for volunteers like Terri who are always exploring new ways to use their passions and interest to give back to their communities.

Our hearts go out to Bronny James, who suffered a cardiac arrest during a USC basketball practice. Knowing how to perform CPR is such an important lifesaving skill, and we’re so glad the athletic trainers were there to help when it was needed.

📜 It all started with a letter from Norma Smith's brother in 1943 that led her to the Red Cross. At 90, Norma has spent the last 72 years of service, responding to disasters, setting up blood drives, teaching CPR classes & more.
