Red Cross Shares Gustav
Sheltering Footage
The
American Red Cross is responding to Hurricane Gustav by sheltering,
feeding, and providing emotional support to thousands of Gulf Coast
residents. On its first major sheltering night, the Red Cross provided
shelter to nearly 45,000 people in 344 shelters spread out over 8 states.
To help people know Red Cross’ contributions and news on hurricane
Gustav, it has introduced a blog among other information resources.
All
American Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible by voluntary
donations of time and money from the American people. You can help the
victims of thousands of disasters across the country each year, disasters
like the Hurricanes of 2008, by making a financial gift to the American
Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which enables the Red Cross to provide
shelter, food, counselling, and other assistance to victims of disaster.
The
American Red Cross honors donor intent. If you wish to designate your
donation to a specific disaster please do so at the time of your donation.
Contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund may be sent to your local
American Red Cross chapter or to the American Red Cross, P. O. Box 37243,
Washington, DC 20013.
