The Oregon Trail Chapter Emergency Kitchen Response Vehicle (EKRV) will be providing Clackamas County Search and Rescue, Portland Mountain Rescue, Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue, and other response units with hot meals for lunch and dinner.
The volunteers in the EKRV expect to feed 150 people during the rescue effort for the missing teen. The Red Cross Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) may be used to carry backup supplies to Mt. Hood as well.
The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization, led by volunteers, that provides relief to victims of disaster and helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. Local Red Cross volunteers respond to residential fires and other disasters an average of every 32 hours. All Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible by voluntary donations of time and money from Oregonians. Financial gifts help provide shelter, food, clothing counseling and other immediate assistance to those in need. Call (503) 284-1234 or visit www.redcross-pdx.org |
