RED CROSS RECOGNITION
On Monday, June 10, Kim Smith, Executive Director, recieved an award from the American Red Cross, recognizing the work that UWGFR did with the Four Winds Fire in January 2019. At a ceremony at Fort Taber in New Bedford, Smith and UWGFR were thanked for the logistical coordination and support offered at that moment of crisis.
UWGFR was also able to recognize Edward Blanchard from Red Cross with the Unsung Hero Award as he was unable to attend the Awards Dinner due to a Red Cross emergency elsewhere in the country.
