| | Red Cross Kicks off Family Caregiving Program (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) |
 | | To address this growing need, the American Red Cross has created a Family Caregiving Program, which provides not only tactical advice but also creates a supportive network for families who need to know how to appropriately provide care. |
 | | A grant to the Red Cross from the Estate of Josephine Osterhout, given in 1988 to support programs for the elderly, formed the foundation of the program. |
 | | For example, the Millburn-Short Hills Red Cross Chapter has engaged Town Hall, the Salvation Army, and Parent-Teacher Association groups to learn the steps in the course and become authorized providers themselves. |
