Youth Happenings at the Chapter

This week has been extremely busy for youth volunteers with the Loudoun County Red Cross! We had our regular youth volunteers who are from Park View High School's Extra Mile Club come in on Wednesday to wash the Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV), and on Thursday, youth volunteers from St. Matthew's Mission Possible group washed the Shelter Truck. All of this cleaning was in preparation for our upcoming trip to Kings Dominion Amusement Park's 6th Annual Emergency Services & First Responder Day.

The students from the Extra Mile have also been hard at work this summer scanning the chapter's archives (which date to the chapter founding in 1917!), and trying to help organize some of the disaster services paperwork. And the students from Mission Possible not only washed the Shelter Truck for us, but performed more than 800 hours of community service in Loudoun County last week! The members of Mission Possible received a tour of the chapter, and learned about what the Red Cross does to help. Staff at the chapter also appreciated the mini brownies, the flowers, and the card the group brought.

Thanks to ALL of our volunteers for your support!
