From California-St. John’s Episcopal Church in Lakeport has signed a shelter agreement with the American Red Cross Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake Counties.
The agreement makes possible the use of St. John’s Carey Hall as a temporary refuge for local disaster victims during Red Cross disaster relief activities.
“We welcome creative use of our sacred buildings and gardens to benefit our neighbors and community,” said St. John’s Parish Priest Fr. Leo M. Joseph, O.S.F.
“We’re pleased to partner with American Red Cross which, we know, provides shelter, food, emotional assistance and basic health care during disasters,” Joseph added.
St. John’s is the presence and ministry of The Episcopal Church in Lake County since 1877. The church building was recognized as a county point of historical interest by California Historical Resources Commission in 1989.
The American Red Cross provides services to individuals, families, and communities when disaster strikes.
