[GIVE HELP]( {NAME}, as Tropical Storm Helene barrels toward the Florida Panhandle, the American Red Cross is working closely with partners and officials across Florida and Georgia to be there for those in the storm’s path. The Red Cross is rapidly mobilizing 275 trained disaster workers, truckloads of supplies and opening dozens of shelters to help people as they brace for Helene’s devastating impact. Across other parts of the country, families in California, Oregon, Nevada and other western states are beginning to recover from massive wildfires, while those in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and the Carolinas continue to recover from the impacts of Hurricanes Francine, Ernesto, Debby and Beryl. The Red Cross has been there with food, water, shelter and other lifesaving relief. It costs just $200 to shelter and feed a family of four for one night. So that’s why, with disasters growing more frequent than ever, we’re asking for your help: [Will you please give now to help provide shelter, relief supplies and compassion to families impacted by disasters? With your generosity, we can reach even more families facing their most challenging moments.]( [GIVE HELP]( There’s no item or gesture that can fully take away the pain of living through a disaster. But by offering families safety, kindness and some of the comforts of home, we can help them find the strength to endure this ongoing crisis and move forward to reclaim their lives. [Please don’t wait: Give now to provide shelter and meals or other lifesaving relief to families devastated by tornadoes, storms, home fires and more.]( [Three icons: warm meals, Red Cross blanket and faimly of three]( [GIVE $96]( and provide food, blankets and additional supplies to support a family of three for one day.
