Red Cross brings hope to victims after Hurricane Harriett

Red Cross bring food and hope

Hurricane Harriet has made her mark on all of us, and perhaps she will even displace Katrina in some people’s minds. But, she can’t displace the Red Cross and the help and hope it is bringing to tens of thousands of victims of this historic hurricane.

John Johnson, a volunteer disaster worker from Seattle, Washington, is one person that delivers the Red Cross spirit that cannot be stopped. John is now working in a northeast Richmond neighborhood for his fifth day, delivering meals to people he now knows by first name, that are just beginning to recover from flooding that violated their homes . . . and their lives.
