How the Red Cross Helps
The Red Cross is committed to teaching people the skills they need to prevent home fires, and helping people recover after a fire happens. At any time of the day or night, trained Red Cross volunteers respond to the scene of home fires and provide food, shelter and emotional support, free of cost to those affected.

How YOU Can Help

All Red Cross disaster assistance is free to those in need because of generous donations
from people like you. Help your neighbors recover from disasters like home fires by making
a tax-deductible donation to your local chapter.

Red Cross volunteers provided for the immediate emergency needs of the disaster clients such
as groceries, clothing, toiletries, medication replacement, and temporary shelter.

When disaster strikes our community, the local Red Cross is your conduit of compassion -- the most direct link between people who want to help and people who need help in an emergency.

The Red Cross is not a government agency. Therefore, donations to the American Red Cross Mount Rainier Chapter are even more critical to supporting local Red Cross programs and services in our community. The local Red Cross disaster relief and emergency services budget
is dependant upon the contributions made by community members – individual donors, businesses, and foundations.

American Red Cross Mount Rainier Chapter is dedicated to helping local families and making our community safer. A volunteer-led humanitarian organization, the American Red Cross Mount Rainier Chapter is touching lives in our community every day.

The Red Cross assists a local family affected by a disaster almost every 48 hours in our
community. Last year, your American Red Cross trained over 27,000 people in vital lifesaving skills, and provided over 4,545 local military families and service members with emergency communications, access to counseling, and community referrals.
