CHANNAHON, IL, April 25, 2023 – On March 31, 2023, severe thunderstorms tore through the U.S. Midwest and Mid-South where they spawned dozens of tornadoes across seven states. Some of the hardest-hit areas were in Arkansas, including the town of Wynne. Although Valto EM’ facility in Jonesboro, Arkansas has not been affected, the Southeast Missouri & Northeast Arkansas Chapter of the American Red Cross reported that since the storm, they have provided over 75,000 meals, distributed over 5,000 clean-up kits and had 800 volunteers working to assist in the communities impacted across the South.

Jonesboro and the surrounding communities mean a lot to the Crane family. As such, The Crane Charitable Funds has provided a generous donation to the American Red Cross to help support the communities during its recovery.

Thank you to the American Red Cross for your support during this difficult time.
