Two relief organizations we have suggested in the past are:
The American Red Cross: https://www.redcross.org/donate/index.jspThese are just two suggestions. There are many ways you can help. Your prayers are much appreciated, too.
The Salvation Army: https://donate.salvationarmyusa.org/disaster
Republican women are always on the front lines when the call goes out, and we truly appreciate each and every one of you!
Thank you,
Rae Lynne Chornenky

National Federation of Republican Women
◼ AMERICAN RED CROSS via NBC
The Red Cross is providing shelter, clothes, supplies, food and blood, as needed, for the victims of Sandy. You can donate blood, but in terms of items, you'll be doing more for those in need by donating money instead of physical goods.
Text message: Text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross Disaster Relief. As in the case with other donations via mobile, the donation will show up on your wireless bill, or be deducted from your balance if you have a prepaid phone. You need to be 18 or older, or have parental permission, to donate this way. (If you change your mind, text the word STOP to 90999.)
Phone: 800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767); for Spanish speakers, 800-257-7575; for TDD, 800-220-4095.

◼ SALVATION ARMY
The Salvation Army is providing meals and shelter. "At this point, in-kind donations, such as used clothing and used furniture, are not being accepted for hurricane relief. However, these items are vital to supporting the day-to-day work of your local Salvation Army," the organization said Tuesday in a press release.
Text message: Text the word STORM to 80888 to make a $10 donation. To confirm the donation, respond with the word “Yes.”
