DONATE NOW
The American Red Cross provides assistance to people in need … free
of charge … every single day! Your contribution means a great
deal to the organization … but even more to the families who rely on
the Red Cross to help them through some of the most difficult times
of their lives.
One of the best ways to
help disaster victims people in need right now is through a
financial donation.
The Red Cross is unable to accept
small, individual donations of items such as clothing,
food or cleaning supplies. The cost to sort, package and distribute
these types of donations to a disaster victims is almost always
greater than the cost of purchasing the items locally, and it is
logistically impossible to distribute a wide variety of individual
items in a meaningful way. Because of these cost and logistical
concerns, we recommend that you support your community by donating
these items to an organization that is equipped to put them to the
best possible local use.
With your ongoing support we can
continue to keep Delmarva strong through our services to families in
need. These include: 24-hour disaster relief and
emergency links between military personnel and their families,
community disaster preparedness, training in life-saving skills like
First-Aid and CPR, and Lifeline - a program that provides peace of
mind for vulnerable people living independently.
The American Red Cross is not a
government agency, we must rely on the generosity of the American
public. With your ongoing support, we will continue to be there
providing people in crisis … relief for today and hope for
tomorrow.
