The Red Cross provided financial assistance for necessities such as shelter, food, and clothing to 2 adults and 6 children, ages 16, 14, 12, 10, 4, and 18 months. Volunteers also offered emotional support and comfort kits containing personal care items and stuffed animals for the children. In the coming days, Red Cross staff and volunteers will remain available to help those affected by the fire as they navigate the road to recovery.
