What is the "Pillowcase Project"? Red Cross program held at Niles, MI District Library Oct. 10 mid-morning

from www.nileslibrary.com/

American Red Cross Pillowcase Project (Learn, Practice, Share framework)

Wed. Oct 10th 10:30 a.m. – 11:30a.m. at NILES (Michigan) District Library Rotunda (main level)

Originally created in New Orleans, The Pillowcase Project is a free program inspired by the story of local university students carrying their belongings in pillowcases during Hurricane Katrina evacuations. During the presentation, participants receive a pillowcase to decorate and then take home to use as a personal emergency supplies kit.

The curriculum is structured by a Learn, Practice, Share framework. Students learn about the science of a locally relevant hazard and how to best prepare for it. They practice what to do if a disaster occurs and how to cope with related fear and stress. Afterwards, they share the information and skills they have learned with their family and friends so everyone in the household knows what to do.

The Red Cross has engaged more than 35,000 volunteers and partnered with more than 13,000 schools, community organizations and partners to deliver this program to students across the country and at more than a dozen U.S. military stations abroad. The Walt Disney Company is the founding sponsor of the program. Additional information about The Pillowcase Project is available atredcross.org/pillowcase.
