Give back to your community by
Supporting the Red Cross
Send monetary contributions to: American Red Cross Genesee-Lapeer Chapter Fund Development 1401 S. Grand Traverse Flint, MI 48503
The American Red Cross responds to a disaster in the U.S. every eight minutes. Whether an entire region is devastated by floods or one family’s home is destroyed by fire, the Red Cross provides food, clothing, mental health counseling and shelter to those in need. While most of the
disasters the Genesee-Lapeer Chapter responds to don’t make sensational
headlines or make the nightly news, the disasters our chapter responds to on a
daily basis are just as devastating to their victims as the ones that do.
Here in Genesee County it could be a house fire, a flood or a tornado –
emergency situations that put the lives of people in jeopardy and destroy hopes
and dreams in seconds.
The
American Red Cross Genesee-Lapeer Chapter’s Local Disaster Fund is an
emergency reserve that enables our chapter to give immediate help to people
affected by both widespread disasters such as tornadoes and smaller disasters
that occur throughout our community everyday, such as fires that may affect a
single family or whole apartment complex.
Our
Local Disaster Fund is the primary funding source that enables disaster victims
to get help right away, regardless of type of disaster, disaster location
(within Genesee and Lapeer counties) or the individual’s ability to
financially contribute to relief services.
The Local Disaster Fund enables us to deploy our resources quickly and
efficiently.
All
Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible by generous donations of
time and money from the community. To
help local victims of disaster in Genesee and Lapeer Counties, send donations
marked Local Disaster Relief Fund to the American Red Cross Genesee-Lapeer
Chapter, 1401 S. Grand Traverse, Flint, MI 48503.
Your gift enables the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, counseling and
other assistance to those in need. For
more information, call 810-257-0747.
