It’s my first time back in St. Louis in over a month because I’d been in Iowa for tornado relief before heading to Indiana. This deployment was my 50th Red Cross disaster assignment.

I am the shelter manager at the American Red Cross shelter at Winfield High School in Lincoln County. As of right now, I have been stationed at the registration desk at the high school and answering lots of phone calls. All day long I have people calling me for information about how to volunteer with sandbagging, where to give blood, how to donate money or asking simply about what they can do to help. We even have people who show up at the shelter looking for volunteer opportunities!
