“We’re amazed by the public response. This outpouring of support shows how much the Lehigh Valley cares about their neighbors. We look forward to working with American Red Cross and Community Action Committee of the Lehigh Valley to ensure that 100 percent of the donations is going back to the families in need,” said David Lewis, President, United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley.
