GIVING TO YOUR LOCAL CHAPTER
Large costly disasters
such as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes
make the news—but most emergencies don't. A house fire
or a loved one needing CPR may not be newsworthy, but
they're a tragedy for those involved. In every single
case, it is the mission of the American Red Cross to
be there and help those in need—whether disaster
strikes thousands of people at once... or one family in
the middle of the night.
Our job is never done—people always need us—every single
day. Please help us continue our lifesaving work.

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 local tornados, by making a financial
gift to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund,
which enables the Red Cross to provide shelter, food,
counseling 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.
Call 1-800-REDCROSS,
1-800-257-7575 (Spanish).
Contributions to the
National Disaster Relief Fund may be sent to
your local American Red Cross chapter at Hawkeye
Chapter, 2530 University Avenue, PO Box 1680, Waterloo,
IA 50704 or to the American Red Cross, P. O. Box 37243,
Washington, DC 20013.
Internet users can make a secure
online contribution by visiting

The best way to support American Red Cross disaster
relief efforts is through a monetary donation. The
American Red Cross is not set up to sort and distribute
collections of food, clothing or other items. It is
difficult to transport and sort collections at a
disaster site, as it requires lots of time, money and
personnel. We recommend that these types of items be
given to local food banks or agencies who are equipped
for such donations.
Memorials and Tributes
A gift to the American Red Cross
Hawkeye Chapter is a touching way to remember someone
who has made a difference in your life, or to honor the
accomplishment of someone you care about. We will
happily send an acknowledgement to both you and your
honoree or the family of the individual you are
remembering. In addition, such gifts are noted in our
chapter newsletter.
To make a tribute or memorial:
Please enclose a note with your gift to let us know the
name and occasion you are remembering. If you would
like the honoree or a family member of a memorial to
receive separate acknowledgement, please include their
address as well.
National or International Gifts
The American Red Cross Hawkeye Chapter accepts donations
designated for national or international efforts.
Your gift to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund
allows Red Cross workers to provide immediate emergency
assistance to the victims of hundreds of disasters
across the country each year. A gift to the American Red
Cross International Response Fund puts your dollars to
work to meet emergency needs of people in other
countries. All American Red Cross disaster assistance is
free, made possible by voluntary donations of time and
money from people just like you!
To designate your gift to national or international
disaster relief rather than local support, simply let us
know your wishes in the “notes” section on-line, write
your wishes in the memo line of
your check, or tell the person taking your donation over
the phone. We assure that the intent of the donor is
always honored.
