Red Cross Rolls Out New Mobile Feeding Vehicle On Thursday, August 10, American Red Cross Greater Kansas City Chapter volunteers, donors and staff attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil the Chapter’s latest state-of-the-art mobile feeding vehicle. The American Red Cross frequently responds to disasters to assist with mobile feeding operations. With four burners and a prep stove, as well as two microwave/convection ovens, this new vehicle will allow volunteers to prepare and/or deliver meals in the field. Additionally, it provides space for containers to keep food and drinks at the proper temperature. The vehicle is equipped with a service window that can be covered with an awning to shield clients from the elements, as well as directional spotlights for setting up during the evening. "The vehicle is state-of-the-art in canteen vehicles,” commented Ken Cope, director of emergency services for the Greater Kansas City Chapter. “It has many amenities that will help us to serve our clients better.” The purchase of this vehicle was made possible by the generosity of the following American Red Cross donors: Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway Foundation Hallmark Cards Dunn Family Foundation Kansas City Power & Light Company Emerson Ventilation Products William T.
