This past Wednesday, WAMC held a one-day fund drive, with listeners coming together to raise more than $320,000 for the American Red Cross to support the thousands displaced by Hurricane Harvey.
Beginning Tuesday, the Red Cross will hold one-day “boot camps” to train volunteers interested in traveling to Texas and Louisiana to support relief efforts.
WAMC's Lucas Willard spoke with Kimmy Venter of the American Red Cross Eastern New York Region about the upcoming training sessions.
