Anne Fox is the Regional Chief Executive Officer and oversees 5 chapters and 45 counties across central Illinois and northeast Missouri.
March is a time of hope and renewal. It’s also Red Cross Month. Since 1943, the U.S. President has proclaimed March as a time for the nation to support the work of the Red Cross.
That’s why this month we are celebrating the everyday heroes – our friends, neighbors, and family members – who dedicate their time to keep our communities safe year round. Whether they’re providing first aid training, responding to a house fire, or serving meals to families affected by emergencies, they make every month brighter.
And by reading this, you’re a hero, too. Every Red Cross friend makes it possible for us to prevent and relieve suffering around the country and communicate our mission to our community. I hope you’ll join me in celebrating Red Cross Month and become a local hero with the Red Cross by signing up for a class, making an appointment to give blood, becoming a local volunteer, preparing your family for disasters down the road or supporting local Red Cross services.
Happy Red Cross Month!
