The Palmetto SC Region of the
American Red Cross is providing financial and recovery assistance to Edgefield
County residents after a tornado touched down Sunday night.
Since
the storm hit, Red Cross disaster-trained volunteers have been working with
partners to assess the damage left behind from the storm. Volunteers have begun
providing financial assistance, for immediate needs and lodging, to several
families whose homes were damaged or destroyed. Volunteers will also work with
families throughout the recovery process.
The
Red Cross will continue to stay in contact with its partners to be sure the
needs of area residents are being met.
