Keep our emergency response vehicles stocked

We’re counting on supporters like you to help provide lifesaving relief. [American Red Cross-Giving Day Badge - Save the date: March 27]( Red Cross Month:Help stock emergency response vehicles Goal: 30,000 Supporters [HELP STOCK AN ERV]( {NAME}, When a family faces a devastating disaster, like those who have been forced from their homes while wildfires rage across Texas and Oklahoma, an American Red Cross emergency response vehicle (ERV) often arrives, carefully packed with food, water and other lifesaving relief supplies that offer much-needed hope and strength. Did you know fully stocking just one ERV costs $25,000? This is a critical cost that the generous contributions from the Red Cross community help us cover. [Animation of an ERV progress bar]( That’s why, this Red Cross Month, we’ve set a goal of 30,000 Giving Day supporters to help provide crucial disaster relief resources like stocked ERVs, emergency shelters and essential supplies. For families that are impacted by disasters like wildfires, tornadoes and storms today, tomorrow and throughout the year, this lifesaving relief can make all the difference. [So, will you donate now to help us reach our goals this Giving Day and power our relief efforts?]( Your gift toward our 30,000-supporter goal in honor of Red Cross Month and Giving Day will help provide: [Image of the inside of an ERV stocked with supplies]( [number 1]( Comfort kits that include hygiene items like deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap and razors.

Your gift today will ensure that, in the uncertain months ahead, families can depend on the hope and support that only the Red Cross can provide.
