CHEYENNE, Wyo. (March 17, 2025) — The American Red Cross of Wyoming is issuing a call to help ensure no one faces a disaster alone by donating on Red Cross Giving Day, March 26.

During the first 50 days of 2025, Red Cross volunteers responded to more big disasters in the U.S. than days. And that's on top of everyday crises like home fires that have upended lives here in Wyoming.

"This year's disasters have set a whirlwind pace, displacing thousands of people from their homes across the country," said Janet Lewis, executive director of the American Red Cross of Wyoming. "As we enter spring disaster season, families are relying on us to come together as a community and support them when help can't wait during future crises. Join us today by making a financial donation."

Visit redcross.org today to make a financial donation.

MAKE A FINANCIAL DONATION: Donations will be part of Red Cross Giving Day, which aims to rally 30,000 individuals to help people affected by disasters big and small. A gift of any size makes a difference. For example, a donation of $3 can provide a comfort kit with supplies like a toothbrush, comb and shampoo, and a gift of $11 can provide a nutritious meal, snack and drink.

For those who are able, any donor who gives $140 or more in March will receive a choice of a Red Cross monopack or a pair of socks as a thank-you for supporting our mission. Donors can make their gift and claim their thank-you by visiting redcross.org any time during March.
