Give Something that Means Something
This holiday season, I hope you will
visit the 2015 American Red Cross Holiday Gift Catalog to give a meaningful – and enduring – gift of help and
hope. Consider a gift to a family trying their best to cope after a home fire,
a service member facing the holidays far from loved ones, or a child needing a
blood transfusion. The Red Cross Holiday Gift Catalog is geared to offer a
variety of gift choices that can be made in the name of a friend or family
member to directly support the vital humanitarian services that we provide.
Hundreds of times each day, the Red
Cross brings help and hope to those in need. For example, a home fire occurs
every 7 minutes in this country, and smoke alarms save lives. Through the Red
Cross holiday gift catalog, you can “purchase” a gift of fire safety training and
the installation of 1 smoke alarm
for $15.00.
The Red Cross holiday gift catalog
contains heartwarming stories from people across the world who have been helped
by the Red Cross, as well as a diverse list of symbolic gifts that illustrate
what a donation in honor of a loved one, colleague, or client could mean to
someone in need. The tax-deductible donation will support a Red Cross program
area. A donation can provide: blankets that give comfort and security to
victims of disasters; fire safety training and smoke alarms to help reduce
fire-related deaths and injuries in at-risk communities; reconnect families who
have been separated by war or disasters; blood services to help ensure blood is
safe and available for those in need.
I hope you will join me in accessing
the Holiday Gift Catalog, by visiting redcross.org/gifts, make a tax-deductible donation online, or call 1-800-RED
CROSS to donate.
I hope you have a blessed, safe and
joyful holiday season!
Joel
