Springfield Red Cross Sends Out Disaster Volunteers
Give money, not clothes or food if you want to help people out who have been hit by a disaster.
A spokesman for the Springfield Red Cross says disaster volunteer teams, like the one headed to New York for Hurricane Sandy have contracts with companies and know how to organize food and water distribution.
One disaster relief team left Springfield Sunday with a mobile feeding truck.
Greg Gaines says a second team will leave once the hurricane makes landfall.
