The Main Street Tower Restaurant in Bel Air was the recent host of the American Red Cross Harford County District’s first ever Dine Out for Disaster Relief. The event raised $350 and all the proceeds will go to help local disaster victims “The community has been very good to us,” said Mario Buontempo who co-owns the Main Street Tower with his brother Renato. “We are happy to help our community by supporting the Red Cross.” On average, the Red Cross responds to three disasters a day in Central Maryland – primarily residential fires – and provides food, clothing, shelter, counseling and other immediate needs for affected families. “Relief services are provided to anyone in need following a disaster, thanks to the generosity of the American people such as the Buontempo brothers who support the Red Cross and the local volunteers who serve on our Disaster Action Team,” Dawn Sacks, District Manager for Red Cross in Harford County says. The Red Cross also trains thousands of Harford County citizens in first aid, CPR, water safety and disaster preparedness skills as well as provides thousands of units of blood to area hospitals.
