7 years ago

CARIBOU, Maine –  Rain or shine, the American Red Cross of Maine will welcome the public to an open house at its Aroostook County branch in Caribou on Thursday, July 20.

The free family-friendly event will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. The office is at 7 Hatch Drive, Suite 250.

“Come one, come all! We want County residents to know that we are here for them — helping people prepare and recover from disaster, supporting military members and their families, teaching lifesaving skills like CPR and making sure patients facing illness and emergencies have the blood they need,” said Mary Green, the Red Cross community manager for Aroostook County.

“It’s a chance to mingle with neighbors, learn about our work, watch a demonstration and perhaps see how you can help further our mission.”

Guests can sign up for free smoke alarm installations, make appointments to donate blood, see emergency response vehicles up close and watch a first-aid demonstration. There will also be face painting, refreshments and kid-friendly activities.

For more information, call the Red Cross Caribou office at 493-4620.
