CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : SAN FRANCISCO : Red Cross to Spend All of Quake Fund
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Under pressure from local governments, agencies and fund raisers, the Red Cross announced it will spend all of a $52.5-million fund on earthquake relief in Northern California. The money comes from unusually generous donations to a relief fund for victims of October’s Northern California earthquake. While $52.5 million is far more than the Red Cross had planned to spend on helping quake victims, the statement said all the money will now be spent as intended by the donors.
