American Red Cross Pillow Case Project
The American Red Cross and High Voltage teamed up from June through August at the Nora Navarre Library for the Pillowcase Project a free, interactive preparedness program designed for youth ages 8 to 11.Â
The Pillowcase Project program aims to increase awareness and understanding of natural hazards and teaches safety, emotional coping skills, and personal preparedness. Through instructor-led presentations, students learn the best ways to stay safe and how to create their own emergency supply kits by packing essential items in a pillowcase for easy transport during a disaster. Students also have the opportunity to decorate and personalize their pillowcases and share what they’ve learned with friends and family. Â
Funding for this program made possible by Walt Disney World (American Red Cross and Mr. and Mrs. Lyndon Barrois (High Voltage). Â
