PLEASE SAVE THE WALLINGFORD/MERIDEN RED CROSS

We are outraged by the proposed closing of our local Red Cross. We want it to stay open to save ALL the services they provide to our community. Such as:

FOOD PANTRY - MEDICAL TRANSPORTATION, RENT & UTILITY ASSISTANCE


This petition was created in honor of the hard work and dedication of the staff at the Wallingford branch of the American Red Cross. Branch Manager Andrea has created an interesting and massive team of supporters, and her work in this community has been recognized by many. Her warm personality is an example of someone who has found a career that truly fits her drive and compassion. She has a special gift that brings people together and makes it easy for them to work towards the cause. What she has developed over the years is a true example of how a chapter should be run.

Well the sad news is that this very productive branch may be closed soon and several staff members, including Andrea will be terminated.

Over the years this branch has trained thousands of people to perform CPR and operate AED. Each year hundreds of people enroll in the Aquatics programs, lifeguard, babysitters & CT Child Care Training. Blood drives and disaster services, which are key roles performed by this branch, will be redirected to New Haven. The National Red Cross has put limitations on what services can be offered and the non-core ones will no longer take place. The Food Pantry, Transportation and the Rental/Utility Assistance will no longer be offered by this branch and will be designated to other agencies. This is what upsets many of us the most. During these economic times, these are the services needed the most and should not be cut out of a branch that not only meets but exceeds its financial responsibilities. We hope that the \\\"powers that be\\\" will reconsider their restructuring plan and keep the Wallingford icon open.

They need your support! Please sign this petition and send a message regarding your concerns about this travesty to Charles Frey, CEO of the South Central Chapter. His email is cfrey@arcct.org or his boss Diane Auger, augerd@usa.redcross.org.

We would hate to see such a great team be broken up and let go after performing such excellent services in our area. Their dedication must be recognized and the services they have worked so hard to establish must continue.
