Fire Next Door Causes Red Cross Office to
Close Temporarily!

A fire at Harvest Lighthouse Ministries has forced the Berkeley County office of the American Red Cross to close temporarily due to smoke damage and soot.

Ironically, the agency responsible for providing assistance to families displaced by fires and disasters is now in need of some community TLC itself.

Berkeley County residents needing Red Cross assistance should be aware that they will be served at the present time by the Jefferson County office at (304) 725-5015. After hours emergencies should be handled, as they normally would, through the Berkeley 9-1-1 Center.

Anyone wishing to donate to those affected by this fire, including the Red Cross, can do so securely through PayPal on our website: www.Easternpanhandlearc.org or by sending checks to our Jefferson County office at 1948 Wiltshire Road, Kearneysville, WV 25430.
