AUSTRALIA Red Cross is asking Frankston residents to dig deep and help those in need this winter.
Red Cross state executive director Penny Harrison says Frankston people are “warm-hearted”.
“We’re asking Frankston to help because we’ve a strong, loyal support base here, with more than 1700 generous Red Cross members, volunteers and donors, along with many more people who support our Red Cross shop and donate blood,” Ms Harrison said.
People can help by donating winter clothing at the Frankston Red Cross Shop at 13b Thompson St (Mon-Fri 9.30am-4.30pm; Sat 9.30am-1pm), donating blood at the Frankston Blood Service Centre (20 Davey Street or call 13 14 95) or by making a donation.
“Winter is often the hardest time of year for people who are doing it tough. The support of our local communities, like Frankston, means elderly Australians will receive a reassuring daily phone call to help them stay safe and our neighbours will be better prepared to survive and recover from the next disaster, be it a flood, cyclone or bushfire,” Ms Harrison said.
