American Red Cross: Here’s how you can help

The Santa Clara Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross is the lead local agency for coordinating services to hurricane victims.

All Red Cross disaster assistance including shelter, food, counseling and other is free, made possible by voluntary donations of time and money from the Silicon Valley community.

For more information about disaster preparedness, health and safety classes, volunteer opportunities, and financial contributions, go to www.santaclaravalley.redcross.org or call (408) 577-1000.

Eastridge supports Red Cross
Eastridge is also teaming up with the American Red Cross to help raise funds for the thousands left homeless and devastated by Hurricane Katrina.

All shopping malls owned and managed by General Growth Properties across the country will display freestanding Hurricane Katrina relief donation sites with remittance envelopes for shoppers who want to donate to the American Red Cross.

Shoppers can then mail their contributions directly to the Red Cross. The donation site will be located at Customer Service Center near upper level Center Court. Internet users can make a secure online contribution by visiting www.redcross.org.
