When disaster strikes, neighbors become heroes.

The American Red Cross Serving Central and South Texas is hosting Shelter Fundamentals right now in the Town of Pecos City, TX, training community members to open shelters, offer compassion, and provide safety when it matters most. Participants are learning how Red Cross shelters operate, how to care for families and pets during emergencies, and how simple acts of kindness can change lives in moments of crisis. Because when everything else is uncertain, being there makes all the difference.
