Double your ongoing support!

When disaster strikes, preparation saves lives. Give monthly and help us be ready for whatever comes. [American Red Cross]( [Photograph of volunteer visting with mother of three after a tornado hit her home]( What is a Champion? A Champion cares. A Champion stands up for people who are suffering. A Champion changes lives. Just one storm can devastate a neighborhood overnight. A fire can fully engulf a home in only five minutes. While we can’t always predict when a flood, fire or tornado will strike, American Red Cross response teams can be prepared to help those impacted. We count on a compassionate community of monthly donors — our Red Cross Champions — to help ensure that our shelves are stocked and our disaster response teams have the vital resources they need to mobilize immediately. As we prepare for the year ahead, we need to sign up 500 new Red Cross Champions before tomorrow’s midnight deadline. [Please, will you commit to making a monthly donation in 2024 to ensure communities have the support they need in an emergency? When you give right now, your first 3 monthly donations will be MATCHED by Olympus Corporation of the Americas — up to a total of $25,000.]( Red Cross Champions help us provide: [Cleanup Kit Icon]( Cleanup Kits ($27) Includes cleaning supplies to help families reclaim their homes following a disaster.
