Henry County Partners with American Red Cross to Open Disaster Relief Shelter

HENRY COUNTY, GA- January 16, 2023— Those seeking shelter as a result of last week’s inclement weather have been given a couple more options.

That’s because Henry County has partnered with American Red Cross to open a Disaster Relief Shelter at Locust Grove Recreation Center beginning Monday, January 16, 2023 at 4:00 p.m.

Mobile showers, bathrooms, washers and dryers have been secured for those that need them. Verizon’s Disaster Response team has also been secured to provide a Wireless Emergency Communication Center that will support additional Wi-Fi and charging stations.

To assist those needing a hot meal, the Salvation Army has established a mobile kitchen for the Indian Creek Mobile Home Community for up to two meals per day for those with no power due to the inclement weather.

Locust Grove Recreation Center is located at 10 Cleveland Street in Locust Grove.

For questions or information, contact the Red Cross at 1-800-Red-Cross or the Henry County Emergency Management Agency at 770-288-7894.

Lorene Lindsey, former Mayor of the City of Locust Grove, passed away early this afternoon after suffering a severe stroke overnight at home. Serving as the city's first woman Mayor between 2000 to 2012, she oversaw the town grow in area by 4-fold in land area and more than 150% in population. She was an indomitable force to be reckoned with in local and state politics and in life. Her imprint on the city will be around for many years to come. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends during this time of loss.
