Hunt-Wesson Gives $6,000 to Disaster Aid
A locally based company has adopted more than two days of disaster relief from the Red Cross.
Food processor Hunt-Wesson Inc. has donated more than $6,000 to the Red Cross as part of the agency’s “Adopt-a-Day of Disaster Relief Program.”
“We can all feel more secure knowing the Red Cross is ready and able to respond in times of urgent need,” Kay Carpenter, a spokeswoman for Hunt-Wesson, said in a news release.
The Orange County chapter of the American Red Cross, which spends an average of $2,500 a day, responded to 165 home and apartment fires, floods, mudslides and hazardous material spills in 1997, helping 850 individuals, according to agency representatives.
