Description

You are invited to join us and the American Red Cross on Saturday, March 4th from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, as we reduce the number of fire injuries and fatalities across Washington County in their Sound the Alarm, Save A Life campaign. For this event, we need volunteers to help install free, 10-year smoke alarms for local residents, as well as help families create fire safety plans for their home. We will meet at the Memorial Park Community Center. There, YP members will be working in teams of 2-3 and may be paired with other volunteers. Training and equipment will be provided that morning. Smoke alarms are requested prior to this event, so families should be expecting you. You should plan to spend about 10 minutes in each home, with one person installing the alarms while the other team member(s) work with households to create fire safety plans and complete required documentation. Don't worry if you have don't have experience doing this - that's why we are providing training! After installing smoke alarms, all volunteers will gather at Memorial Park Community Center for a volunteer celebration where lunch will be served. Plan to dress casually (jeans and a t-shirt is fine), and close-toed shoes are recommended. If you are willing to drive a team, please designate that in your RSVP. Please contact Heather Carbajal, local Red Cross director, at [email protected] or 423-863-0200 if you have any questions or would like to engage your corporation or community group in signing up for smoke alarms or volunteering. We hope to see you there!
