Action 4 News, KURV and HEB are teaming up with the American Red Cross to launch a disaster relief drive for all the victims of Hurricane Sandy and the nor’easter.
 
As of Friday, Superstorm Sandy killed at least 85 people.  More than a week after the story, thousands are still suffering from Sandy, the nor’easter and the gas shortage continues.
 
The local American Red Cross South Texas Chapter has had 12 volunteers, its Emergency Relief Vehicle and two employees in affected area for the last two week. 
 
Another will be deployed to the area sometime next week.
 
The “Spirit of the Valley: Taking Action 4 Hurricane Sandy Victims” kicks off Monday, November 12th.
 
We will be collecting monetary donations over the next two weeks to help the millions affected.
 
One-hundred percent of the donations go directly to the victims.
 
You can stop by any HEB to donate -- $1, $3, or $5 dollars --- at any the register!
 
You can also TEXT 90999 …and type in ‘RED CROSS’ to make a $10 donation from your mobile phone.
 
On Wednesday, November 14th, Action 4 News will be LIVE at area HEB stores collecting donations.
 
If you’d like to make a donation, contact Action 4 at listens@valleycentral.com or call Action 4 News Director Kimberly Wyatt at 956-366-4422.
