PEORIA – The Red Cross is making a plea for donations as it provides relief for tornado and flood victims in Central Illinois.
The agency has emergency responders in Delavan following a tornado which displaced several dozen families. Volunteers have been distributing snacks, bottled water, Gatorade, plastic totes and cleaning supplies including rakes, shovels and trash bags. A Red Cross emergency response vehicle has been visiting the affected area delivering the supplies to the residents.
The Red Cross has also been providing relief to residents whose homes along the Illinois River were flooded.
The Red Cross is asking for donations to help cover the cost of those relief efforts. You can visit www.redcross.org to make a donation or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.
