Red Cross needs cash, volunteers

The American Red Cross is accepting only cash donations at this time and cannot take food clothing and other items, officials said Thursday afternoon.

Donations can be made to the American Red Cross Relief Fund at local Publix and Kroger grocery stores, or they can be made online at www.redcross.org.

Local residents can also call 404-870-4440. Volunteers are also needed and can call 404-870-4425.

Several Red Cross shelters have already been opened in metro Atlanta, and more may be necessary, officials said.

The Red Cross, supported in large part by donations from citizens and corporations, is making a plea for financial support to help with hurricane relief efforts.
