The donation will support the ongoing "Sound the Alarm" campaign, which provides fire safety education and free smoke alarm installation for homes in need.

The Red Cross hosts "Sound the Alarm" events throughout the region, recruiting volunteers for smoke alarm installation and educating the public on fire safety essentials. While house fires claim 7 lives a year on average, the presence of smoke alarms is proven to cut the risk of fire deaths in half.

In celebration of the credit union's contribution, Point Breeze president and CEO Tonia Niedzialkowski, along with fellow members of the senior leadership team, joined Red Cross personnel at their Baltimore location.

"Keeping our neighbors safe matters deeply to us at Point Breeze Credit Union", said Tonia Niedzialkowski. We're grateful to support the Red Cross and the lifesaving work of the 'Sound the Alarm' campaign."
