As individuals, families and communities struggle with life changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are still experiencing unexpected emergencies, like needing lifesaving blood or a safe place to stay in the aftermath of home fires, storms and other disasters. We see this every day at the American Red Cross. #GivingTuesdayNow is a day to come together to help provide comfort and hope.

[When you make a gift by midnight tonight, you’ll make TWICE the impact helping even more families in the face of everyday emergencies.]( Match your gift by midnight on May 5, 2020 [Countdown to May 5, 2020] Donate Now Make it Monthly Though we’ve continued to provide support to our communities, the emergency situations we usually respond to have been exacerbated. How do families continue to practice social distancing after being displaced? How can our staff and volunteers provide resources to people affected by disaster or to military families who are coping with deployment without putting those we serve at risk? {NAME}, because of supporters like you, we have been able to uphold our mission even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, adapting how we provide support during this challenging time: - Providing blood products for patient needs like cancer treatments and emergency surgeries still occurring during this pandemic. - Connecting with families affected by disaster by phone or video to provide hotel stays, emergency financial assistance, health and mental health services, and recovery support. - Supporting military families and veterans with emergency communication messages and online workshops, including those on managing pandemic-related stress and supporting military and veteran caregivers. - Offering essential courses such as resuscitation, CPR and first aid — which help medical professionals and other workers stay current on their certifications.
