Large costly disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes make the news—but most emergencies don't. A house fire or a loved one needing CPR may not be newsworthy, but they're a tragedy for those involved. In every single case, it is the mission of the American Red Cross to be there and help those in need—whether disaster strikes thousands of people at once...or one family in the middle of the night. Our job is never done—people always need us—every single day. Please help us continue our lifesaving work, with a secure online gift today!

In-Kind Donations: GOODS & SERVICES
These gifts, known as in-kind donations, can be very valuable for relief operations, but restrictions apply to what, where and how such gifts can be made. Because the American Red Cross wants to treat all people equally, we can only accept products donated in quantities large enough to ensure we can distribute similar items to everyone we are assisting. In this way, the Red Cross may only accept bulk donations of products that are expressly needed on a disaster relief operation, such as bottled water, toiletries and food products. Bulk donations consist of a single product, packaged in large quantities on pallets. This makes them easy to ship, warehouse and process, all critical activities in a disaster environment. Corporations supply the majority of in-kind donations used by the Red Cross because of the quantities needed. Donors are asked to cover the shipping of in-kind donations directly to disaster sites.
If you have a bulk donation you think would be appropriate, please call 941-792-8686
