🌪️⛈️ As we continue to witness millions of people being affected by severe weather, there are many opportunities for you to help lend a hand, even if all you have to offer is a hug. Sign up to be a volunteer and help people when they need it most ➡️ rdcrss.org/3rrT3y4.

Today and tomorrow will be some of the hottest days we've seen so far this year. The combination of heat and humidity will send heat index values into the 100-105 degree range, and the Heat Advisory has been extended until 8 pm Saturday. #NCwx

Jaw-dropping fact: Sharks ARE NOT attracted to human blood. Hospital patients need your blood though! That’s why we’ve teamed up with #SharkWeek & the theatrical release of #MEG2: THE TRENCH to help spread the word that more donors are needed now. Give: rcblood.org/43Yo1wb

Come out to @WFMY Camp Do-Good Summer Blood Drive, today from 9-6pm at Piedmont Hall at the Greensboro Coliseum!

The American Red Cross understands a disaster can sometimes be the most difficult time in someone’s life—That’s why we have spiritual care and mental health volunteers in the community. We are here to listen and speak with anyone impacted by a disaster.
