JEFFERSONVILLE, NY — The American Red Cross will present The Pillowcase Project at the Jeffersonville branch of the Western Sullivan Public Library on Saturday, August 29 from 11 a.m. to 12 noon.

The Pillowcase Project is a preparedness education program for children entering grades three to five that teaches students about personal and family preparedness, local hazards and basic coping skills. Children will attend a one-hour seminar and receive a pillowcase to take home. The program will allow the children to learn about emergencies and how to stay safe when emergencies happen, practice what they have learned so they will be prepared for an emergency, and share what they have learned at home and with friends so that everyone can be prepared to help one another during an emergency.
