Posted: August 25th, 2010 7:43 AM
An American Red Cross service center will be open today from 10 am-5 pm for those affected by last night's multi-unit apartment fire at Ash Creek Condos in Tigard. The service center will be located at Paper Plus, 11105 SW Greenburg Road. Red Cross public affairs will be on scene and available for interviews from 11 am-1 pm.
Casework volunteers at the service center will help residents begin their recovery with financial assistance for food, clothing, medications and other necessities. Lunch will also be provided.
Last night, Red Cross disaster volunteers provided snacks for firefighters, comfort kits filled with toiletries from Horizon Restoration and temporary lodging for approximately 10 families.

The Red Cross is a charitable organization – not a government agency – and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.
