The American Red Cross Needs Your Help
October 10 , 2008 - In the last 30 days alone, the Red Cross has opened more than 900 shelters, served more than 11 million meals and snacks, deployed more than 18,000 volunteers and provided health and mental health services to more than 80,000 people.
In the past 12 months, the cost of providing disaster relief has rapidly outpaced contributions to the Red Cross, depleting our Disaster Relief Fund. We have been forced to borrow the money to help the victims of these disasters. The Red Cross has raised only $63 million of the $263 million it has already spent responding to disasters since September 2007, leaving us about $200 million in debt for disaster relief this past year.
The overwhelming majority of the money we raise comes from our donors. We will always need to depend on the generosity of the American people to fulfill our mission.
Please give today.
GIVE NOW to the American Red Cross Campaign for Disaster Relief
All American Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible by voluntary donations of time and money from the American people. You can help the victims of thousands of disasters across the country each year, disasters like floods and tornadoes by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which enables the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to victims of disaster. The American Red Cross honors donor intent. If you wish to designate your donation to a specific disaster please do so at the time of your donation. Call 1-800-REDCROSS or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish).
