Red Cross, Grainger Partner On Corporate Volunteer Training Program
Distributor W. W. Grainger has teamed up with the American Red Cross to recruit and train corporate employees as disaster volunteers to help support the 70,000 disasters that the Red Cross responds to each year. The program supports the Red Cross' strategic goal to increase volunteer capacity.

The initial eight metropolitan communities include Baltimore; Houston; Kansas City, Mo.; Los Angeles; New York; Orange County, Calif,; San Francisco; and St. Louis.
