Local Hungarian Relief Fund collects little less than half goal
Red Cross officials report only $1,188 raised locally for the Hungarian Relief Appeal, about half of Washington County’s $2,178 share of a $5.1 million national drive. They expect momentum to grow after the holidays as the American National Red Cross continues refugee aid in Austria and in the United States. President Ellsworth Bunker notes the $5 million target is the absolute minimum to meet European and domestic commitments, with $1.3 million already set aside from reserve funds.
