American Red Cross
Wednesday, 7 October, 2026

A house fire can leave a family without medication, clothes, or a place to sleep but the Red Cross may arrive within two hours with immediate supplies, financial assistance, and help replacing prescriptions. In this episode, Michelle Dowdy, executive director of the American Red Cross in the Blue Ridge Bay area, explains what local support looks like beyond blood drives, from free smoke alarms to emergency preparedness resources. She also shares how the Red Cross helps reconnect families separated by conflict or disaster and why donated blood can’t be manufactured. Hear how to get help, volunteer, host a blood drive, or make a difference with a donation.This podcast lives on Media Squatch+ Your home for local voices, live shows, and nonstop audio.Listen free: https://mediasquat.ch/plus
