“Ready When the Time Comes is an efficient way for the Red Cross to activate multiple volunteers with one phone call to a sponsoring company for response to natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, wildfires, tornadoes and ice storms as well as other local emergencies. The American Red Cross runs on the valuable service of its more than 600,000 volunteers and continues to look for ways to attract new volunteers to help people in need of emergency services.”
— Gail McGovern, President and CEO, American Red Cross
“The greatest resource the business community can contribute to disaster relief is its employees’ time and dedication. Volunteers trained through RWTC truly exemplify the people power that is the foundation of any disaster response. The
RWTC program is a great example of the business community’s leadership in disaster preparedness and a hallmark of Grainger’s partnership with the American Red Cross.”
— Jim Ryan, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Grainger
