MASSATINE, GRAND CAPE MOUNT – In a heartfelt gesture of solidarity and compassion, the Red Cross Office in Grand Cape Mount County has extended support to communities in need ahead of Liberia’s Independence Day celebrations.
On Tuesday, the Red Cross delivered food and non-food items to residents of Massatine in Gola Konneh District, bringing not just materials, but also a message of hope, dignity, and unity.
Speaking during the donation ceremony, the Field Officer of the Red Cross Kama Kamara expressed the Red Cross’ commitment to humanitarian values.
“As we approach Liberia’s Independence Day, we are reminded that true freedom and celebration come when we care for one another, especially those who face challenges like you, our brothers and sisters living with such condition. Today, we bring these items not as gifts, but as a message of hope, dignity, and solidarity. You are not forgotten. You are part of our family, and your strength inspires us all.”
This intervention was made possible through the support of the County Development Fund allotted to the Red Cross to strengthen its local humanitarian actions in Grand Cape Mount County.
