Local Disaster Program Support

The American Red Cross is not a government agency. The programs and services of the Red Cross are provided primarily through the generosity of individuals, businesses, and foundations who give voluntary gifts of time and money. Knoxvillians know that they can depend on the Red Cross in times of disaster.

Money Matters

Financial donations to the Red Cross are the best way to assist victims of disaster. Monetary contributions enable the Red Cross to purchase the most urgently needed items as close to the disaster site as possible. Purchasing near the disaster site ensures supplies get to victims as quickly as possible, without delays and hefty transportation costs. Because communities hit by disasters generally experience significant economic loss, buying goods locally also helps to stimulate the weakened economy by pumping money back into area businesses.
