Red Cross Campaign Push Aimed At Canada Wide Appeal
The Canadian Red Cross Society launches its annual raising campaign from March 23 to March 31 with a goal of 1000 dollars up from last year’s target. Last year’s drive raised over 2000 dollars through local donations. The organization, with 800 branches, promotes safety first aid health and blood services and relies on volunteers to aid disasters and locate missing people. Each dollar helps sustain community services and blood clinics.
