GREEN COVE SPRINGS — The Board of County Commissioners honored the Northeast Florida Chapter of the American Red Cross with special recognition at Tuesday's meeting.
The county proclaimed March as American Red Cross Month, which is also celebrated nationally.
Present were local chapter staff members and volunteers, who were recognized for their continued humanitarian service to Clay County and the state of Florida.
Founded in 1881, the American Red Cross responds to, and provides free aid for, more than 64,000 disasters annually.
The local chapter provides a range of services across 13 counties in Northeast Florida, including military and veteran aid.
District 2 Commissioner Alexandra Compere read the proclamation. In 2024, the organization helped more than 1,100 families affected by home fires and other disasters, 26 of which were in Clay County.
Additionally, the board also gave special recognitions for National Procurement Month and Government Finance Professionals Week, celebrating the staff's considerable work on those subjects.
In other business Tuesday, county staff gave updates on the progress off the Bonded Transportation Program and some Capital Projects.
Here are a few highlights from the report:
