Your donations make a difference

The 2008 Hurricane Season began with a bang when Gustav rolled onto the shores of the Gulf Coast. The American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles responded swiftly and pro-actively to help those communities in need. In advance of the storm we pre-positioned nearly 25 volunteers and many Emergency Response Vehicles in the Gulf Coast region. As other storms threaten the United States, the American Red Cross is prepared to provide food, shelter, and mass care until conditions are safe. For more information on what we are doing and how you can help, click here.

FEATURED FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION:
Why can't the Red Cross accept gifts of food and clothing?
The Red Cross does not accept individual donations of material items (called in-kind donations) because receipt of such items can actually hamper relief efforts. The financial and personnel cost of receiving, sorting, transporting goods and ensuring the quality and cleanliness of items donated by individual households is very high. It does not allow for individuals and families to receive what they uniquely need in their own size and shape.
