How you can help

The tragedy of Monday’s tornado in Oklahoma may be halfway across the country, but there are still ways we can help locally.

Jordan Scott, communications director for the American Red Cross Capital Region Chapter, said the organization is accepting donations for relief efforts. People can text REDCROSS to 9099 to make an automatic $10 donation, or can visit redcross.org to make a donation.

Scott said there are no plans yet to send teams from Northern California over to Oklahoma for relief efforts, but that it usually takes 24 to 48 hours for them to receive requests.

“Our volunteers know it may happen and to be ready,” Scott said. “We’ve got the experience and the expertise here.”

Volunteers from the area have helped out through other disasters, including the 2011 tornado in Joplin, Mo., and Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

APRIL 30 The Dominic Deiro Story

APRIL 30 The Dominic Deiro Story

Sponsored by Cultural Awareness Programs Committee (CAPs) Produced by the English Department and Dominic's Designated Driver (DDD), a non-profit organization.

This event will present to the campus community an informed discussion of the individual responsibilities involved in public behavior. Decisions made on the spur of the moment have long-term consequences that can affect lives drastically and can cause loss and sorrow. The focus will be on a Delta College student—who he was, how he influenced others, how he lost his life—and on his family's decision to educate others on the importance of accountability and personal responsibility. Speakers will present indoors; this will be followed by an outdoor activity assembling a "memory tree."
