Red Cross Flood Relief Wraps Up

The Canadian Red Cross's flood relief program for the Charlotte County area has officially come to a close.

Director of Disaster Relief Bill Lawlor says over half a million dollars was raised and has been handed out to flood victims, mostly to offset utility, heating, and fuel expenses.

He tells CHSJ News the goal of their assistance was to provide items or services that other relief programs wouldn't cover.


He says 261 households got assistance from the flood relief program.

Charlotte County and the surrounding areas were covered in 180 millimetres of rain back in December.
