In 2018, Red Cross volunteers helped millions of people reeling from a second consecutive year of record wildfires, hurricanes, tragic shootings and other large disasters across the country. Nearly every eight minutes, we met a family who lost everything to a disaster—the roof over their heads, their clothes, their most cherished possessions. But you can help during those first devastating hours. Join us by giving on March 27 for American Red Cross Giving Day.
You can schedule your donation now: redcross.org/givingday and #help1family.
On Giving Day, we ask for everyone’s support to reach our goal of helping 25,000 families. By making a financial donation on March 27 at redcross.org/givingday, you’ll unite with thousands of people to help families during the first devastating hours of a disaster. Your gift can provide hope and urgent relief for families who need it most.
Ever wonder what it takes to support one family after a disaster?
- $88.50 can provide a family of three in urgent need with a day’s worth of food, including breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus blankets and other essentials in the aftermath of a disaster.
- $60 can provide six people with a nourishing meal that includes a main course, snacks and a drink to those impacted by disasters.
- $30 can ensure that children and families stay warm and can get a good night’s sleep with six comforting blankets.
Did you know that on average, each year, the American Red Cross responds to more than 62,000 disasters across the country to provide hope and comfort to people in need. We also collect more than 4.7 million units of blood and more than 900,000 platelet donations from nearly 2.7 million volunteer donors to meet the needs of patients at hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. To support this lifesaving work of the American Red Cross, we need your help.
We are asking you to join our team. By uniting together, we can make an impact.
