Red Cross consolidating offices to cut costs

WATERLOO — Several American Red Cross offices in eastern Iowa will be consolidating to reduce costs, but the nonprofit says it is not cutting jobs or services.

The agency will close its Marshalltown office and move to a smaller Waterloo office. Pami Erickson is executive director of the south and eastern Iowa chapter of the Red Cross. She says the chapter will actually add one job as part of the changes.

The Marshalltown office had been used only for storage in recent years. Those items will move to the emergency management building.
