Help can’t wait when disaster strikes. Whether a family needs shelter, food or a sympathetic ear, generous donations to the American Red Cross help ensure they never face a crisis alone.
The need for this support is constant. In just the first 50 days of 2025, local Red Cross volunteers responded to 56 disasters in Southwestern Pennsylvania and assisted 185 people who were affected. The majority of those disasters were home fires.
Your donation can provide relief and care, such as:
• $5 for a blanket to wrap around a person’s shoulders
• $11 for a nutritious meal, snack and drink
• $24 for comfort kits, each with supplies like a toothbrush, comb and shampoo, for two families of four.
No gift is too small — and we can do so much when we come together. Join our community movement by donating today at redcross.org/GivingDay. Your gift will be part of our annual Giving Day on March 26, which aims to rally 30,000 individuals to help people affected by disasters big and small.
