As Hurricane Dorian threatens the U.S. mainland, Kentucky is sending help to its neighbors to the south.
The American Red Cross has sent more than two dozen volunteers to work in shelters, assisting those displaced from their homes with food and other needs. Jennifer Capps is executive director of the American Red Cross of South Central Kentucky.
“Monday night, more than 12,000 people stayed in 171 Red Cross shelters and community shelters in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, so we anticipate as the storm continues north, those numbers will grow," said Capps.
