The American Red Cross closed its shelter at Genesis Church at 205 W MLK Blvd., in Fayetteville this morning (Monday). It has been open since May 5 for people displaced from their homes by flooding.
Red Cross teams met today with individuals and families from the West End Apartments and the Johnson neighborhood of Roxanne Place and Staci Drive. Anyone from these flood-affected communities who was unable to meet with Red Cross, should call 1-800-Red-Cross with their contact information to schedule other arrangements.
