Charity Navigator, Four out of Four Stars


	In response to Hurricane Ike's landfall along the Gulf Coast, the Red Cross is providing shelter, food and emotional support for thousands in need. Those affected by disaster are relying on us for emergency aid in their toughest times - especially now in the peak of hurricane season. These storms will have an impact. You can too. Your gift fuels our mission of disaster relief and lifesaving services every single day.

Financial contributions to the American Red Cross are tax-deductible.
		DISASTER RELIEF FUND You can help the victims of thousands of disasters across the country each year, disasters like the Hurricanes of 2008, by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

Box 37243, Washington, D.C. 20013.

		WHERE THE NEED IS GREATEST The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors—down the street, across the country and around the world—in emergencies. Together, we provide relief to victims of disasters, collect and supply blood for those in need and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. You can help ensure these lifesaving services are always available, and the Red Cross continues to have the resources, talent and ability to deliver them.
		SERVICE TO THE ARMED FORCES The American Red Cross is a lifeline for deployed military members, allowing them to communicate to loved ones back home during emergencies. We also provide social services, emergency travel, financial assistance and mental health support for our returning troops and their families. You can help the Red Cross help military families with a gift to Red Cross Services to Armed Forces.
		YOUR LOCAL RED CROSS CHAPTER Your local Red Cross chapter is committed to meeting the humanitarian needs of the people in your area, be it in disaster preparedness, disaster relief, first aid or CPR training, or disease prevention. You can help support your local chapter programs and services through a gift to your local Red Cross chapter. The gift will be sent to the local area chapter based on your zip code.

Fraudulent Email Alert

Currently, a fraudulent email posing as the American Red Cross is soliciting members of the public. The email describes the sender as “Madelyn Cox no-reply@redcrossaidinfo.us”. This is NOT a legitimate email. Do not give your personal information to this email. This and other such abuses are immediately brought to the attention of American Red Cross’ legal department. We are alerting the public as well, to ensure that donors’ personal contact details are not compromised.

Only American Red Cross and its local Red Cross Chapters are authorized to send communications or appeals to the public in American Red Cross’ name. If you receive and doubt the authenticity of any email from the Red Cross, contact us and we will verify its legitimacy for you.

The American Red Cross is not a government agency and all Red Cross disaster assistance is free thanks to the generosity of people like you. The value of your donation is increased by the fact that the ratio of volunteer Red Cross workers to paid staff is almost 36 to one. Contributions to the American Red Cross, a tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, are deductible for computing income and estate taxes.
