You can also choose to direct your Christmas donation to the Disaster Relief Fund or to support Ukraine.

A donation to the Disaster Relief Fund helps where the need is greatest. With your support, we deliver humanitarian aid to the world’s most critical crisis zones. In addition, donations strengthen domestic emergency preparedness, ensuring that help can be provided quickly and efficiently when it’s needed most.

The need for aid in Ukraine remains immense. Basic healthcare, physical and mental rehabilitation, and livelihood support will be needed for a long time to come in Ukraine. With your support, we deliver essential health and social services to the areas where they are needed most.

By donating to the Red Cross, your company helps those in the greatest need. Choose your donation target and make the most impactful act of responsibility this year — starting today. 

At the food aid distribution, you realize you're not alone and not the only one who needs help.
