Red Cross Drops Central KY County
KENTUCKY...
The chapter of the American Red Cross that serves central Kentucky says it will no longer provide fire victim services in Lincoln County. A representative for the Daniel Boone Chapter of the Red Cross in Richmond, told the Lincoln County Fiscal Court earlier this week that the county costs too much and contributes too little.
The Advocate-Messenger of Danville reports that county magistrates, both Lincoln County and the city of Stanford, had not contributed to Daniel Boone chapter in several years. The Red Cross has spent about $23,000 responding to 33 fires in the county in the last year. The Red Cross would still provide relief assistance in the event of an emergency such as a tornado. Garrard County also recently lost services from the Red Cross.
