Celebrating American Red Cross Month

This evening's 7:00 PM City Council Meeting will begin with a recognition of the American Red Cross. The Mayor and City Council will recognize March 2021 as American Red Cross Month in Monterey and will receive a presentation from the Central Coast Chapter of the American Red Cross. The proclamation honors the volunteers, staff and donors who support the American Red Cross’ mission. The community depends on these local heroes to deliver assistance, shelter, food and hope during emergencies, including the coronavirus pandemic.
