Beginning Monday, March 1^st from 8 am – 8 pm, the American Red Cross will provide water, snacks and sandwiches to the volunteer sandbaggers at Sand Bag Central, 2301 8^th Avenue North, Fargo. 

This is a coordinated partnership between the Red Cross and Salvation Army as the community, area Emergency Managers, City and County officials begin preparing for and mapping out strategies for fighting this spring’s flood.  The American Red Cross will work with local officials to provide Mass Care and Mobile Feeding operations as long as deemed necessary.
