Every eight minutes, the American Red Cross responds to a disaster—the vast majority of which are home fires. Day and night, dedicated Red Cross volunteers arrive at burnt homes to find families standing outside without shoes or coats. We calm their fears and help them secure necessities like clothes, toiletries, food, prescriptions and warm places to sleep. With support from donors like you, we not only meet these immediate needs but stay by clients’ sides for weeks, helping with everything from insurance forms to landlord negotiations. You can stand with them too. Your gift will help families pick up the pieces after home fires.
