Greek-American firms pledge Cedar Rapids Red Cross receipts
Day's receipts from nineteen Cedar Rapids businesses owned by Greek-Americans will go to the Red Cross on Wednesday March 7. Nine others will donate substantial amounts though not the full day. The effort, led by Cedar Rapids Greek community groups, includes merchants carrying payrolls and donating supplies to maximize contributions to the Red Cross. Cooperation comes from numerous cafes, shops, eateries, and service businesses listed as participants.
