This week, Delegate Jeannie Haddaway-Riccio and Delegate Addie Eckardt both signed pledges to be “Red Cross ready” and to help others in their community prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies.
By signing the pledge, the two delegates also agreed to provide information to their constituents on having an emergency preparedness kit, creating a family plan for emergencies, getting trained in First Aid and CPR and how to get involved with Red Cross activities.
“I am pleased to support the American Red Cross in their efforts to help Maryland citizens,” Haddaway said. “I am also very proud of our local group, American Red Cross of the Delmarva Peninsula. They have served over 1 million people on the Eastern Shore and in Delaware for over 100 years. What an incredible legacy.”
