One of the most frustrating mega-charities in the U.S. is the Red Cross.  American Red Cross provides services to hundreds of thousands of U.S. residents every year – for disaster relief, blood transfusions, health education and more.  Despite their $3 billion plus annual budget, the American Red Cross has been struggling to find the money to pay for all of the work they need to do for victims of Hurricane’s Ike and Gustav and other disasters.  They’ve had to take out loans and get emergency assistance from taxpayers.

One of key programs of The American Red Cross is to provide shelter, clothing, and financial assistance to people who have lost their homes due to fires or other circumstances.  This is a massive organization performing very difficult and expensive services both here in the U.S., and overseas.

Make a donation today – even $20 can help.  At Givvy we will match the first 5 donations – up to $250 total – to the American Red Cross that go through Givvy.  This is a tough year for all of us, but think of those who are even less fortunate and open your wallets just a little today.
