Thursday, July 10, 2003 American Red Cross of Rhode Island
responds to Providence fire
Rhode Island Red Cross volunteers were called to the scene of a fire last evening at 101 Lennox Avenue in
Providence. Nine people -- 5 adults and 4 children –received food, clothing and shelter assistance from the Red Cross.
The Red Cross of Rhode Island typically spends $1,000 per family of four that it assists. All Red Cross assistance is free,
thanks to contributions from individuals and organizations. The Red Cross is not a government agency and relies on private donations to provide emergency assistance to Rhode Islanders in crisis.
