'Life Savers' to Speak at Red Cross Event in Ridgewood

The American Red Cross is holding an open house at its Ridgewood location to educate the community about Red Cross services in Bergen County and across the North Jersey Region. 

Two Bergen County students will share how the skills and knowledge learned in American Red Cross Health and Safety Services courses helped each of them save lives.

The public is invited to hear River Dell High School student David Lo and Northern Valley Regional High School student Tyler Williams tell their stories, learn how to be better prepared for emergencies, preview and download free Red Cross mobile apps, learn about volunteer opportunities, and tour the Next Generation Emergency Response Vehicle.
