We don't just respond to big disasters like the floods in Hawaii, we also respond to local disasters like home fires every day. In the past week, we answered the call for help 11 times.

We provided aid and resources to 24 adults, 8 kids and 14 pets. We know that pets are part of your family so we work with our partners to provide them with aid. These two adorable pups seen here were part of a response from last month.

If you're a people and animal lover, you can become a Red Cross responder and help change lives! Go to RedCross.Org/DAT to learn more ☺️

For Giving Day, your financial donation goes twice as far. Our partners at Ford Philanthropy are making this possible and doubling the impact of all donations today. Donate here: https://rdcrss.org/4spd0QF

Since World War I, Ford Philanthropy, the global philanthropic branch of Ford Motor Company, has partnered with the American Red Cross to support communities during times of crisis. This long‑standing relationship began when Ford designed and donated Model T ambulances to aid lifesaving efforts. The partnership continued through World War II with contributions to the Red Cross Motor Corps, a dedicated group of women volunteers who transported wounded service members and delivered essential supplies and personnel.

Today, on Red Cross Giving Day, Ford Philanthropy is continuing this legacy by generously matching donations up to $250,000.

Your contribution can make twice the impact, helping provide shelter, food, and urgent assistance to individuals and families affected by disasters.

Double your impact and support those in need. Donate today: https://rdcrss.org/4spd0QF
