PINEVILLE, S.C.–According to an American Red Cross spokesperson, disaster-trained volunteers assisted four people whose mobile home, located on Riverbank Road in Pineville, was destroyed by fire Thursday morning.
The Red Cross is meeting the immediate needs of the three adults and one child by providing temporary lodging, financial assistance for food and clothing, comfort kits with personal hygiene items, and referrals to partner agencies to assist with the family’s long-term recovery.
In South Carolina, the American Red Cross, on average, responds to a disaster every four hours. Because of volunteers and financial assistance from the community, the Red Cross was able to help more than 7,000 individuals affected by disasters, the majority of those being home fires, in S.C. last year.
