Red Cross moves to four-day work week

ROCKY MOUNT — The American Red Cross Frederick E. Turnage Chapter office will be closed on Fridays beginning Sept. 1.

This change comes as an overall standardization of Red Cross business hours throughout Eastern North Carolina.

Beginning Sept. 1, all Red Cross offices in the 28-county Eastern North Carolina region will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

"As we move toward our principle of One Red Cross," said Hal Tarleton, director of operations for the Frederick E. Turnage chapter, "we recognized that we need to have the same policies, pricing, procedures and schedules at each office.

"Although our offices will be closed an additional day each week, Red Cross services, including disaster response, will continue to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week," Tarleton continued.

After-hours assistance will be available through an answering service and a network of on-call volunteers.
