COMMISSIONERS PROCLAIM MARCH AS AMERICAN RED CROSS MONTH

MONROE COUNTY, FL – Monroe County Mayor Michelle Lincoln and the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners have proclaimed March as American Red Cross Month, recognizing the humanitarian work of the organization and the volunteers who serve the Florida Keys.

For more than 145 years, the American Red Cross has provided relief, comfort, and hope to people facing emergencies and disasters. Red Cross volunteers and employees respond to disasters, support military members, Veterans, and their families, help collect life-saving blood donations, and teach skills such as first aid and CPR.

“In Monroe County, we are fortunate to have dedicated volunteers who step forward when our neighbors need help most,” said Lincoln. “The American Red Cross plays an important role in our community, and we are proud to recognize its continued service and the many residents who support its mission.”
