As Old Man Winter begins to knock at our doors, the Red Cross has begun to get the word out about fire safety in our homes this winter. Preparedness is the heart of the Red Cross and it’s their goal to help keep everyone safe from the devastation and disaster of common house fires that occur during the cold winter months. We all know how expensive it is to heat our homes and that expense sometimes finds people turning to alternative ways of staying warm at home. Unfortunately, those alternative ways of staying warm are often the leading causes of home fires, leaving many people homeless. Through their website, the Red Cross offers people steps to take to lower their risk of a fire in their home as well as lowering their heating bills. Offering tips on their website is just one way the Red Cross helps people prevent home fires, but when fire breaks out and people are in need of assistance, the Red Cross is on the scene. In order to meet the rising needs of people devastated by fire during winter, the Red Cross needs people who can donate a car to charity. When you donate a car to the Red Cross, you are helping them continue to meet the needs of people suffering from the devastation of fire in communities across the country.
