Plainfield, NJ: The Tri-County Red Cross provided breakfast canteen service to the Point of Distribution (POD) exercise organized by the Union County Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) on Thursday, June 25, 2009 at Muhlenberg Hospital in Plainfield.

 

 

This POD drill was designed to practice the flow of people at a site, to receive medicine during a mass distribution. Different scenarios were given to the participants, including troublemakers, lost children and people with special needs.  The Tri-County Red Cross gives support to first responders, including medical personnel involved in mass care, by providing shelter management training, food and shelter to staff during disasters, and health and disaster mental health services if needed. To learn more about what we do at different types of disasters, please contact Mike Prasad, Director of Emergency Services at 908-756-6414 x15.

As the summer is coming upon us, the Tri-County Red Cross is providing community outreach at a number of street fairs in our area. This is a chance for residents and others to learn more about the Red Cross and obtain information about disaster preparedness, health & safety education, blood drives, and Red Cross service to the military.

 

It's also a chance for people to volunteer for a single day of service with the Tri-County Red Cross. To learn more about upcoming street fairs we will be participatig in, please click on the Volunteer Link at the top of this page and find a Street Fair you can volunteer at!

We are also pleased to partner with the Tri-County Red Cross and donate a portion of the proceeds from this event to a wonderful organization.

What could be cooler than your own Tri-County Red Cross t-shirt and hat?  OK, so free season tickets to the Giants or a lifetime pass to Bruce Springsteen shows would be better.

But, still, this is free!  Every month the Tri-County Red Cross is going to give away a t-shirt and hat to one randomly selected person who signed up for their newsletter on the website. 

Just fill out this form on the contest page or the one on the side of every page of the site and you'll be entered in to win a t-shirt.

Don't worry, you won't have to do it month after month.  Anyone who signs up online and continues to get our newsletter is eligible!

There is one condition, though: you have to live or work in one of the 22 communities we serve in Union, Somerset and Middlesex counties NJ.  Anyone who doesn't live or work here and fills out the form simply won't get on our mailing list or entered in the contest.  Sorry!
