The American National Red Cross is asking for your donation of money, instead of donated items. With money CASH, we can do more and much faster.

Over the years We (the Red Cross) have found, it takes more People and People Power, to manage, sort, and handle donated items, it delays services.

With money we can buy what is needed or here in the United States, the clients can buy what they need. Donated items may have a need some times, in special cases, in large events such as Haiti, we need cash so we can buy in bulk.
