The American Red Cross Provides Critical Relief from a Devastating Disaster

After multiple tornadoes devastated communities in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee, the American Red Cross is working around the clock to help those in need and ensure that people have shelter, food, and emotional support to endure the significant loss of life and property caused by the destructive tornadoes. Emergency shelters are open to provide a safe place for people who cannot return to homes significantly damaged by the devastating tornadoes.
 
The American Red Cross, known for its ability to rapidly mobilize resources, volunteers, and funding in the face of national and global emergencies, is working to safeguard the survivors of this disaster and alleviate the suffering and loss countless individuals have experienced. The commitment from GRoW @ Annenberg, explore.org, and other individual and organizational donors will enable the Red Cross to do what it does best- immediately respond to an overwhelming crisis, assess the damage, and provide the assistance people need in the moment and weeks and months to come.
