First Helene and now Hurricane Milton – The American Red Cross needs your help.

As Hurricane Milton bears down on Florida – The American Red Cross needs your help.

As Hurricane Milton bears down on Florida the American Red Cross states…For the second time in two weeks, the American Red Cross is mobilizing support for an historic storm as Hurricane Milton bears down on Florida. These preparations are happening even as disaster teams continue helping families and communities upended by Helene.

Helene left unimaginable damage in its wake, washing away entire communities and destroying tens of thousands of homes. Experts say Milton has the potential to be one of the most destructive hurricanes on record for west-central Florida, bringing more than a foot of rain and a 15-foot storm surge to the area.

Disasters this large require a team effort and the Red Cross is working with local officials, government agencies and other nonprofits to coordinate efforts across multiple states.

WE NEED YOUR HELP Thousands of people need urgent support now, and the Red Cross can’t do this alone. Please help by making a financial donation, an appointment to give blood or platelets, or signing up to become a volunteer by visiting redcross.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767).

HURRICANE MILTON poses a serious threat to Florida, including many of the same communities ravaged by Helene. With unprecedented evacuations underway, hundreds of Red Crossers are on the ground ready to help by providing safe refuge.
