‘Adopt’ A Day of Disaster Relief or Transportation in New Hampshire
The New Hampshire (West) Chapter of The American Red Cross began a great program earlier this year aimed at giving people an appreciation of the cost of running their services. These services include: housing, substitute medical items, clothing, and mental health services. The Chapter claims that the cost of catering assistance to its residents is on average $3,410 every week. The Adopt a Day of Disaster Relief or Transportation is a means of offering local businesses and foundations an opportunity to help provide essential services to local residents.
Many companies ask employees to contribute at company outings, or other company events, and then match employee donations dollar for dollar. The donations will allow you, or your company, to adopt one or more days of disaster relief.
The cost to the Chapter of providing transportation services to members of the community is ordinarily around $1,453 each week. This includes rides to people of all ages for dental, therapeutic, and violence programs.
Contributors to the Adopt a Day of Transportation or Disaster Relief program will be recognized both in the New Hampshire (West) Chapter’s one-year report and Adopt A Day web site.
Clearly, the cost of providing such a range of important services is rather significant. Creative programs such as the one pointed out above are a great way of spotlighting those costs. The program also offers an excellent opportunity for members of the public, and local businesses, to make an attempt to aid The American Red Cross.
