Red Cross: shelter, food, emotional support in place for Harrisburg residents

Red Cross representative Tammie Pech speaks with CNN’s Ashleigh Banfield on the response efforts for residents in the devastated town in Illinois.

Pech says, “We want to make sure that people are safe. So we’ve set up a shelter here in Harrisburg. We want to make that people have food. That they have emotional support and they have things that they need and their immediate needs are being met.”

She adds, “The very best thing anybody can do to help us support us is give the gift of time, blood or money.”

Early Start with Ashleigh Banfield & Zoraida Sambolin airs week mornings from 5-7am ET on CNN.
