Red Crossers On The Road! (Part 4)

Join us in welcoming home Ian and Tommy from their trip and bringing back our new canteen!

They stopped for gas in the last stretch of the journey and arrived around 12:30 a.m. last night!

 

Ian Sterne has been a Red Cross volunteer for a number of years. He has been an integral part of helping to design this new canteen generously provided by a donor who has chosen to remain anonymous.

Tommy Thompson has been a Red Cross volunteer for many years also. He accompanied Ian on this journey to safely bring back our brand new canteen.

Thank you, Ian and Tommy!

Stay tuned to find out when our official “welcome home” event will be!

Red Crossers On The Road! (Part 2)

Our National Capital Area’s Red Crossers – Ian and Tommy – are busy on the road!

They picked up the brand new canteen in Texas and have been working their way towards home.

They stopped in Louisiana to visit fellow Red Cross volunteers and staff members at our sister chapter – Southeast Louisiana (SELA).

 

Then Ian and Tommy jumped back on the highway to travel through Mississippi.

 

They’ll be stopping for a rest tonight so they can press on tomorrow! Ian and Tommy will hit the road in the morning to get an early start on enjoying the scenic routes as they get closer to home.

Red Crossers On The Road! (Update 1)

Two of the National Capital Area’s Red Crossers – Ian and Tommy – are volunteering their time to take a trip down to Texas to pick up something special – a brand new canteen!

This canteen will be a part of the fleet of essential emergency response vehicles to better and more efficiently serve our region in times of disaster. It is a vital resource for Red Cross volunteers tasked with delivering meals and other essential supplies to disaster affected areas.

Here’s a sneak peek of the vehicle!

 

Ian and Tommy arrived in Texas on November 2nd and will keep in touch along the way until they return home safely.
