How Can You Help After A Disaster?

When a disaster strikes a family, a community, or a country, people want to help. Obviously, everyone does not have the time or ability to respond directly to the scene and give assistance. But almost everyone wants to do something to help those in need.

One way to help is to volunteer, and you may sign-up on line today to volunteer with the Indiana County Chapter. You may also make financial contributions to the chapter earmarking it for the "Disaster Relief Fund." Your financial contributions – rather than donations of often unneeded items – ensures that what is actually needed can be purchased in disaster affected communities. It also enables disaster victims to pay for what they need to meet their emergency needs.

The Disaster Relief fund assures that the Red Cross can provide assistance to individuals and families regardless of the type of disaster or where it occurs.
