RED CROSS UPDATE 12:15 pm The Red Cross appreciates the outpouring of support from the community for those affected by the recent fires. Given the breadth and speed of these fires, cash contributions are the best and fastest way to support those in need and those battling the fires. At this time, we are NOT ABLE to accept in-kind donations from the general public, including gift cards. Financial contributions allow us to provide the most appropriate short and long-term support to those affected. Help people affected by disasters like wildfires and countless other crises by making a gift to American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Your gift enables the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from disasters big and small. Visit redcross.org/donate, or call 1-800-REDCROSS. Contributions may also be sent to the Apple Valley Chapter of the Red Cross by calling 509-663-3907 or sending a check to 12 Orondo Avenue, Wenatchee, WA 98801.
