DC get with it! If you’re reading this you must have access to a computer and if you can use a computer you can access social networking sites like ‘Facebook’, you might even be able to ‘twitter’ or catch up on things with ‘YouTube’ or ‘Linkedin’ if you are a business. (Apologies to any readers who find that condescending but believe it or not – not everyone is savvy.)
I mention these to you because the Internet could be a wonderful communication tool for us to inform and recruit volunteers about what we’re doing. Anyone with a social conscience can make a difference in awareness and funds could be raised if issues we are concerned with go viral. One of the ways we can keep funds coming in to keep our work going is through vehicle donation. Don’t try to sell your car online through the different auction sites like Ebay; make a difference and donate the car to a charity. If you wish to donate a car you can fill out a form online or talk to an operator on the phone, which has lines open 24 hours a day.
All sorts of subjects are topics of discussion over the web and at last the American Red Cross has embraced the technology that drives much of today’s youth to their decisions. Young people are much more socially and politically aware and possibly cynical of the way world governments respond to international crises. The Red Cross is an independent organization and though often recognized as the authorized official institution in many countries permitted to respond to disasters, its mission statement upholds impartiality.
It’s been fifteen years since the National Capital Chapter successfully completed requirements and met all standards of excellence necessary for a Red Cross Chapter; with your help we can continue to maintain these standards and provide the assistance required at home or abroad when help is required. Many people have made their contribution by an auto donation that costs you nothing as the charity collects the vehicle, enters it into a car auction and realizes the capital to supplement their funds. Vehicle donation is as important to fundraising as blood donation is to saving lives.
