Red Cross works to help multiple displaced residents Sunday

The Brazos Valley Red Cross responded to multiple calls for help on Sunday.

Two people were displaced after a house fire overnight Sunday. Then, just hours later, a fire at an apartment complex in College Station displaced a family of five. When these victims have nowhere to turn, the Red Cross arrives on the scene.

“It’s like neighbors helping neighbors,” Brazos Valley Red Cross Executive Director, Jennifer Young, said. “We bring water and snacks and then really getting down to what the true needs are which oftentimes when you’re in that type of situation you have lost everything and you have nowhere to go, there’s the immediate need of shelter.”

Those responding are not doing it for a paycheck or even a thank you. Instead, they are working to just get people through the worst time.
