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.

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. |
