(destroyed East Flat Rock home after 7/20/2010 fire)

Did you know that your Henderson County Chapter has already responded to 18 local disasters this year?
Most have involved a home destroyed by fire, including the Mother's Day fire destroying the home of a Fletcher mother and son. That's not a news story from somewhere across the country .... it's 40 of our Henderson County neighbors dealing with real disasters! We respond with shelter, food, personal items and clothing as needed. Thanks to our trained disaster volunteers for responding, 24/7, when & where the disasters happen; and thanks local donors & sponsors for making it possible!
