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.”
