We provide practical and helpful awareness and educational information to show residents how to save lives, reduce injuries, and protect their homes from disaster. Preparedness Checklist Winter Storm Red Cross disaster relief focuses on meeting people's immediate emergency disaster caused needs. When a disaster threatens or strikes our area, the Fox River Chapter provides shelter, food, and health services to address basic human needs. The core of our Chapter's disaster relief is the assistance given to individuals and families affected by disaster which enables them to resume their normal daily activities independently. If needed, the Red Cross provides items including groceries, new clothing, temporary housing, emergency home repairs, transportation, essential household items, medicines, and occupational tools.
All assistance is based on verified disaster caused needs.
The American Red Cross is not a government agency and all Red Cross disaster assistance is free, thanks to the generosity of people in our community like you. Ninety-one cents of every dollar spent by the American Red Cross goes directly to programs and disaster services that help people in need. Please click Help Now to donate to the local Chapter.
