United Way of York County Special Response Fund Grant

A grant from the United Way of York County was donated to the Red Cross in the amount of $10,000.  The grant enabled the Red Cross to provide 2,000 free smoke detectors as part of the 2008 Safe Neighborhood Awareness Program.

A press conference was held on May 27 regarding the grant and was hosted by Mayor John Brenner.  Local media outlets were invited to document the on-site installation.  Attending were Bob Woods, Executive Director of United Way of York County; Matt Leininger, Executive Director of York-Adams County Chapter American Red Cross; and Chief David Michaels, York City Fire and Rescue Services.  Also attending were homeowners, the Stovers, members of Secure Corps and firefighters Fred DeSantis and Chuck Hiden.
