DISASTER RELIEF FOR VICTIMS You can help the victims of thousands of disasters across the country each year, disasters like the Hurricanes of 2008, by making a gift to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. This Fund enables the Red Cross to provide food, shelter, counseling and other assistance.
How your donations help: $25 provides five blankets at an emergency shelter. $75 can cover a doctor's visit for an individual injured in a disaster. $350 will provide emergency food and shelter for 25 disaster vistims for one day. $2,500 deploys one emergency response vehicle and drivers (including housing and meals for driver) to a disaster relief operation. $3,200 is the average yearly maintenance and fuel for one emergency response vehicle.
