Campaign for Disaster Relief

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 that is not yet over. 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.

Disasters Change Lives. You Can Too.

Words of Hope

"I just wanted to let you all know how much the meals were appreciated. They were great! We evacuated and came back to a tree on our roof and were without lights for two weeks. The Red Cross truck came by twice a day with hot meals. It was a very much welcome from tuna and potted meat. The food was delicious. Thank you all for all the hard work you all have done. You made a difference in my neighborhood. Thank you sooooo much. We Love You!" - Chocolate0955

Gearing Up in the Capital for the National Day of Giving

 Tuesday, December 09, 2008 The arrival of a frosty chill in the Washington, D.C. area is no match for Red Cross volunteers and employees as they get ready for the National Day of Giving for the American Red Cross, which takes place Saturday, December 13.

Give to the Disaster Relief Fund

Along with chapters and blood service regions across the country, Red Cross workers in the D.C. metro region will be out in communities to collect donations for the Campaign for Disaster Relief. The Red Cross launched the campaign in September with the goal of raising $100 million for the Disaster Relief Fund.

Visitors who happen to be near the White House on Saturday will find the Red Cross offering doughnuts and hot chocolate outside their historic national headquarters building. Other area chapters will have volunteers collecting donations at school events, businesses and chapter offices, as well as at blood drives.

If you want to know what events are happening in your area on the National Day of Giving, contact your local chapter. Even if you can’t take part on December 13, there are several ways you can help the Red Cross meet its $100 million goal, which will go toward helping the victims of thousands of disasters across the country each year:

  • Donate to the Red Cross by going to www.redcross.org or calling 1-800-REDCROSS (for Spanish-speakers, 1-800-257-7575).
  • Send contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund to your local Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.
  • Use your cell phone to donate $5 to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund by text messaging the keyword “GIVE” (4483) to “2HELP” (24357).
  • Shop the Red Cross online store at www.redcrossstore.org

 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 Tropical Storm Gustav, 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-RED CROSS or 1-800-257-7575 (Spanish). Contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund may be sent to Northeast Georgia Chapter, P.O. Box 3370, Gainesville, GA 30503 for your local American Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P.O. Box 37243, Washington, DC 20013.  Internet users can make a secure online contribution by going online to www.redcross.org
