Giving Day - #help1family

The fifth annual American Red Cross Giving Day is on Wednesday March 27, 2019. Giving Day takes place in March during Red Cross Month, a time to recognize heroes who help those in need in their community all year round.

Giving Day is an opportunity for local communities to come together on one day to help the families who have been impacted by a home fire or other disaster and who urgently need Red Cross services to get back on their feet. 

Your gift can provide hope and critical relief, like food, shelter and other essentials to people who need it most. When we each donate on Giving Day, we can make an impact and help more families after a disaster or home fire. 

No. The information collected during the event is only used by the American Red Cross. It will not be sold or shared with third party organizations. 

Yes, your gift is tax deductible. You will receive an e-mail confirmation that will serve as your receipt for tax purposes.  

You can get involved in two main ways:

1. You can make a financial donation on Giving Day.  A gift of $88.50 can provide a family of three with a day’s worth of food, plus blankets and other essentials.  Unite with thousands of people like you on American Red Cross Giving Day to make a difference.  If we each #help1family, think of what we could do.
2. Spread the word about Red Cross Giving Day.  Share your passion for helping those in need. Encourage your friends and family to give a gift to help the families who urgently need Red Cross assistance after a home fire or disaster.

Donations made on this website for Red Cross Giving Day will be used for Red Cross Disaster Relief which supports disasters big and small, including home fires.
