The Canadian Red Cross is pleased to announce that Saskatchewan credit unions are now accepting cash donations in support of Red Cross relief efforts in response to the powerful 9.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Japan on March 11th.
“We are grateful to SaskCentral and Saskatchewan credit unions for providing Saskatchewan residents with an easy way to help millions of people in Japan receive assistance with search and rescue, emergency medical care, and clean water,” says Cindy Fuchs, Provincial Director with Red Cross in Saskatchewan.
Over 80 Japanese Red Cross health and disaster relief teams are on the ground to provide emergency medical assistance, assist in evacuations and distribute urgently needed supplies including over 30,000 blankets. The Japanese Red Cross has requested financial assistance from the Canadian Red Cross and one Canadian delegate was deployed on March 15th to support the response going forward.
“We are deeply saddened by the magnitude of devastation and destruction in Japan,” says Pam Skotnitsky, Executive Vice-President of Corporate and Community Affairs, SaskCentral. “Credit unions are more than willing to support the Red Cross relief efforts in Japan through the collection of donations.”
