Donate for Emergency Shelter this Holiday Season

Full Day of Emergency Shelter

for families who have lost everything.

Emergencies can force families to leave their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. That’s why a Red Cross response always begins with a safe place to sleep, hot food and a hug. You can help by supplying a full day of emergency shelter with urgently needed essentials, including 3 meals, 2 blankets, 1 cot and personal hygiene supplies for people impacted by disaster.

— $250 provides shelter for 5 people

— $100 provides shelter for 2 people

— $50 provides shelter for 1 person
