The Lakeside Communities’ Service Center, formerly the Glades Area Branch, first opened on November 21, 1989 and was the vision of Mrs. Irvin Zumpf, a benefactress of the Red Cross, and Mr. Richard Turner. Turner, a member of the Red Cross Board of Directors, saw a need to improve services to residents living in Florida’s western communities. The Board challenged the local chapter to raise money to cover the new location’s expenses. After raising $9,400, the service center opened.
In February 2009, the Lakeside Communities’ Service Center relocated to a new office at 206 East Sugarland Highway in Clewiston, allowing Red Cross volunteers to more quickly respond to local disasters because it’s in the center of the territory covered by the Lakeside Communities’ Service Center. The new 860 square foot location includes two offices and a classroom meeting space. In 1996, the Greater Palm Beach Area Chapter began serving Hendry County. Today, the Service Center delivers life-saving programs to Hendry and western Palm Beach Counties, including the communities of Belle Glade, Pahokee and South Bay.
