Donate to the Red Cross
Last year was a record year for responding to disasters, large and small.
From floods and tornadoes to wildfires and residential fires...from hurricanes
that devastated entire communities throughout the southeast U.S. to a
catastrophic earthquake and tsunami that caused a giant wave to crash into
parts of southern Asia and eastern Africa destroying lives, families, homes
and livelihoods.
Because of the public's generous support, the American Red Cross has
been able to respond immediately whether the need was around the corner
or halfway around the world...
But we continue to need your support as we provide relief for victims of local,
national and international disasters. In the southeast, Hurricane Katrina has
ripped apart thousands of lives and left thousands homeless. In response,
the American Red Cross is launching the largest mobilization of resources
for a single natural disaster involving thousands of trained disaster relief
workers, tons of supplies and shoulders to lean on.
Additionally, donations from you and other generous supporters will ensure
that we meet the demand of collecting and supplying more than 6 million units
of blood for over 3,000 hospitals around the country, provide classes to
nearly 12 million people annually including CPR, First Aid and other life-saving
skills, keep military families around the globe connected and prevent 1.2
million measles – related deaths by vaccinating 200 million children in Africa
by the end of 2005.
Financial contributions to the American Red Cross are tax-deductible.
