Hi All,In light of what is happening in Houston and in Texas, I thought a blog entry talking about the American Red Cross would be useful, helpful, interesting and appropriate.
Visitors to the ARC site can donate by giving money in various amounts. The minimum donation is $10. Users are able to specify where the money gets spent. For example, you can choose disaster relief, where the money is needed to go the most, your local red cross, home fires and Hurricane Harvey.
Visitors to the ARC can also donate blood. Click the link to find blood drives by zip code.
Users of the ARC site can also volunteer their time. Click this link for more information.
Finally the site has a helpful Get Help section where you can learn about disaster relief/recovery, how to reconnect after a disaster, learn about post-emergency recovery and more.
Also, at the bottom of the page users can sign up for ARC (American Red Cross) news. By submitting your email address users will be informed of disaster alerts, preparedness tips and ways to get involved with the ARC.
Click on this page for FAQ's (frequently asked questions) about a variety of Red Cross related topics like Donating Blood, Financial Donations, Getting Assistance and Reconnecting Families.
