As disasters rage on, we need your support to help families in need. [American Red Cross]( [Red Cross volunteers distribute food and other supplies around Pajaro, California, 2023]( [Wildfire]( DISASTER ALERT [RUSH A DONATION]( {NAME}, Over 2 million homes and businesses around Houston are without power after Hurricane Beryl made landfall yesterday. Families are struggling to begin cleaning up as the combination of no electricity, high humidity and extreme heat creates difficult circumstances. Many other areas across the country are also enduring deadly heat waves and record-breaking temperatures. And communities in the Midwest and Northeast are preparing for potentially devastating floods in the coming days. The American Red Cross is actively responding to these disasters and more, delivering food, water, shelter and other lifesaving aid to families in need. But as disasters continue to impact communities across the country, we’re counting on your help to continue delivering relief to people in need.
