This assistance is made possible through the generous donations of north Texas residents who make financial contributions to Disaster Relief Fund of the Dallas Area Red Cross. The Red Cross provides emergency financial assistance to help disaster victims replace basic food and clothing, essential household furnishings and appliances, medical items, occupational tools, and other essentials lost or destroyed in a disaster. Your donation today, guarantees that the Red Cross will always be there when help can't wait. To help the Red Cross meet the ever increasing costs of disaster relief, the SAVE THE DAY program was implemented. In addition to Dallas County, the Save the Day program is also in place for Denton County, Ellis County and the Kaufman Area branches.
Businesses select the day of the year they wish to sponsor.
A letter is then mailed to each sponsoring company outlining the disaster assistance provided on that particular day. By simply shopping at your local Tom Thumb or Kroger grocery stores, you can further the humanitarian work of the Dallas Area Red Cross. From then on, each time you make a purchase with your Reward card, Tom Thumb will donate a percentage of your total to the Dallas Area Red Cross. It costs you nothing extra, but makes a significant financial impact to the Red Cross. Then every time you check out at a Kroger grocery store, Kroger will donate a percentage of your total to the Dallas Area Red Cross.
