Show Notes
The Lacey City Council honored the American Red Cross as March 2026s American Red Cross Month, acknowledging their century-long disaster response and community aid. The South Puget Sound and Olympics Chapter, covering eight counties, relies on 554 volunteers logging over 48,000 hours annually. Last year, they handled 197 home fires, aided 408 families, trained 23,501 people, collected 6,999 blood units, and assisted 19,538 military members and families. Local volunteer leader Vic Merolla highlighted the crucial role of everyday volunteers, while Council member Nicolas Dunning and Mayor Andy Ryder emphasized the Red Crosss vital community role. With United Way of Thurston County ceasing operations, the Red Cross is set to expand its services, encouraging residents to volunteer, donate blood, or contribute financially.
