Campaign for Disaster Relief
A special message about the campaign from Gail J. McGovern, President and CEO of the American Red Cross
Movie Icon A special message about the campaign.

Our neighbors all across the country are being affected by disasters this year—a record number of tornadoes, the worst flooding in the Midwest in 15 years, an early wildfire season and an active hurricane season. You can change a life, starting with your own, by supporting the American Red Cross Campaign for Disaster Relief, and helping the Red Cross raise $100 million for the Disaster Relief Fund. Your generous donations to the Disaster Relief Fund, depleted as a result of an active year of disasters, allows the Red Cross to mobilize volunteers who provide food, shelter and counseling to people who need it, whenever and wherever disasters occur.

  • Donate to the Disaster Relief Fund.
  • Follow Red Cross news and Campaign progress.
  • Join the Campaign by using and sharing online tools to help the Red Cross raise funds.
  • Read Words of Hope and learn what Red Cross clients and volunteers are saying about recent disasters.

Words of Hope

The Red Cross presence in Galveston has been incredible. Even though we haven't needed the food, it has been so comforting to hear the truck come by twice a day, just in case we ever do. We've gotten to know the workers on "our" truck and they are so kind and compassionate. After giving to the Red Cross after every other disaster, it's enlightening to be on the receiving end. Keep up the fantastic work!! - Nancy Kitchel
