Area motels participate in Rooms for Red Cross

Jamestown (CSi) The American Red Cross has announced that over 50 hotels have donated rooms for 2015 in their ‘Rooms for Red Cross’ program.

Eight hotels in the Jamestown/Valley City/Devils Lake area have donated over 50 rooms for 2015.

Participating hotels in the area include: AmericInn Lodge & Suites (Valley City), Holiday Inn Express (Jamestown), Gladstone Inn & Suites (Jamestown), Buffalo Motel (Jamestown), Comfort Inn (Jamestown), Sleep Inn & Suites (Devils Lake), Oxenrider Motel (Ellendale), and the Carrington Inn & Suites.

Last year, over 400 disaster calls were received in the region and left adults and children without anywhere to go. Volunteers with Red Cross responded to house/apartment fires more frequently and invited them to take a room with their ‘Rooms for Red Cross’ campaign.

Jamestown Red Cross Community Volunteer Leader, Jeff Wolsky, adds, “When we are helping a family after a fire, having these rooms available is a huge help,” They are just tremendous community members.”
