Red Cross Helps Oklahoma Workers During Shutdown

Red Cross Leads Shutdown Relief Efforts

The American Red Cross is stepping in to help military personnel and federal employees affected by the ongoing federal shutdown. The effort spans central and southwest Oklahoma.

Collecting Essentials for Families in Need

Volunteers are gathering donations of non-perishable foods, baby formula, diapers, wipes, and hygiene products. The organization is also requesting paper goods, laundry detergent, pet food, and cleaning supplies.

The drive will continue through next week, ensuring resources reach families facing financial hardship from delayed paychecks or restricted access to base facilities.

Community Support Grows Across Oklahoma

Local businesses, churches, and schools have joined the campaign. Drop-off points across several counties are seeing steady participation as Oklahomans rally to support their neighbors.

Red Cross officials stress that community contributions are vital to sustaining relief through the shutdown period. They encourage continued donations to maintain emergency supplies for those still without income.
