There are a few ways that you can help! The first way is to make a financial donation. Please note that the American Red Cross does not accept material donations or collections of items, including food, clothing, and other supplies. To donate clothing or household items, we suggest visiting the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster's website for of organizations that accept these types of donations.
Financial contributions are needed, on the other hand, to allow the Red Cross to purchase exactly what is needed for the disaster relief operation close to the disaster site, which avoids delays in getting basic necessities to disaster victims and helps stimulate the weakened local economy, as a community affected by disaster has generally experienced significant economic loss.
