This storm season is the deadliest in a decade, and it’s on pace to break even more records. You’ve seen the recent headlines — an onslaught of tornadoes, storms, and floods striking Central U.S communities, some with very little warning. Many of our neighbors are dealing with the destruction of personal property, the pain of loss, and are facing the most difficult time of their lives.

Help the Red Cross with disaster relief by making a secure online donation.

Families and individuals affected by these disasters are being met by hundreds of Red Cross volunteers and workers, recently deployed from around the country to lend a hand. These response teams are working 24/7, providing shelter for thousands. They have delivered 100,000+ meals and snacks so far and are providing other vital emergency and health counseling assistance.

Such a major response is only possible through the National Disaster Relief Fund. As a Red Cross supporter you know our first priority is to those facing disaster. But now, additional donations are critically needed, especially given the scope of devastation caused by these historical storms. From tornadoes, storms, and floods in the Central U.S., to wildfires and multi-family home fires across the country, the Red Cross is on the scene.

Will you please help by making a gift for disaster relief today?

Providing the surviving families and individuals with the help they need calls for a constant outlay of relief supplies and resources. Donations like yours are vital to our relief operations! Your gift to the Disaster Relief Fund today will help these people and thousands of other disaster survivors around the country each year. Thanks for whatever you can afford today.

Sincerely,

Lauri Rhinehart
Vice President, American Red Cross
