Fire takes. And, when fire takes a house, it also takes everything that makes a house a home. Your clothes and the shoes you wear every day. Your most precious possessions. Your security. Your dignity. All incinerated in minutes. Help the Red Cross #GiveWhatFireTakes.

Approximately every 8 minutes the Red Cross responds to a disaster, including home fires. The need is constant. You can help people affected by disasters big and small by making a gift to American Red Cross Disaster Relief.

Today, your dollars could provide the important items a family needs:
  • $10 can provide 2 blankets
  • $30 could provide 2 installed smoke detectors
  • $100 can provide shoes and clothes
  • $550 in immediate financial assistance to one family
Thank you for being a part of the American Red Cross.  And thank you for taking our mission to heart - to relieve suffering wherever and whenever it happens.
