Battery Up Eastern Iowa!
The Twiseltons are just one of many Eastern Iowans households that have been assisted by the Grant Wood Area Chapter's Battery Up program. This free program partners the Red Cross with area Fire Departments to help elderly and disabled residents replace batteries and old smoke detectors in their homes. Annually the Red Cross assists 450-500 households in nine area counties. This year's program is sponsored in part by Jarvis Property Restoration.
