“This generous financial donation will allow us to continue serving our community, free of charge,” said Jeremiah Lafranca, Executive Director of the American Red Cross Greater Salt Lake Area Chapter. “We have the power to respond to disasters with shelter, basic necessities, and sometimes financial support because of the generosity of our community.”
