Abby says volunteering makes you feel like you're part of the community.
When disaster strikes, take action! You can help comfort and support people who are forced from their homes due to emergencies, so they don’t have to face tough times alone. https://t.co/X2YHJeGV4a

She couldn't bear to leave the picture behind.

“They were really something,” said Rona Schneider, a California resident who is staying at a Red Cross evacuation shelter due to the wildfires. The photo is of her mother and father — first-generation immigrants from Poland — taken decades ago.

Rona doesn't yet know if her home and car survived the fires, but our shelter workers and volunteers are taking care of everything she needs in the meantime. In fact, more than 200 American Red Cross workers, many of whom have been impacted by these wildfires themselves, are helping in southern California where hundreds of evacuees woke up in emergency shelters this morning.

These fast-moving wildfires have scorched entire neighborhoods, leaving many with nothing but what they fled with. To make sure no one faces this heartbreaking crisis alone, we’re working closely with our partners to provide safe shelter, food, emotional support and other critical services.

If you need help:

- Visit one of our shelters — you don’t have to stay overnight to get help. In shelters, disaster health volunteers are caring for minor injuries and replacing things like eyeglasses and medications while mental health workers are providing emotional support to those experiencing unimaginable loss. You can also get a meal, water, and place to rest. Find shelter locations on https://t.co/KqgklNREzn, the free Red Cross Emergency app or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

- If you need assistance locating a missing loved one because of the fires, we may be able to help. Visit https://t.co/3SchPVE6NL or reach us at 1-800-RED CROSS. Please provide as much detail as possible to assist us in potentially locating your missing loved one.

If you'd like to help:

- The most effective way to help our Red Cross disaster relief efforts is by making a financial donation. You can do this by texting ‘CAWILDFIRES’ to 90999 or visiting https://t.co/rGnaoQW4E2

- While we appreciate the thoughtfulness behind donating physical items like clothing, sorting and distributing these takes time and resources away from providing immediate assistance. If you’d like to donate physical items, we encourage you to call 211 or visit 211LA at https://t.co/QWnJm1ww0a to find out which organizations are accepting these types of donations.

- Become a Red Cross volunteer! We are always in need of volunteers to help during times of crisis. To learn more about volunteer opportunities during disasters, please visit https://t.co/RwtuDRsNEb or contact your local chapter.

The American Red Cross expresses its sincere condolences to the family of the late James Earl Carter Jr., the 39th president of the United States. During his time in office, President Carter served as our organization’s honorary chairman, a position all U.S. presidents have held since 1913.

He also appointed Dr. Jerome H. Holland as chairman of the board of directors of the Red Cross — the first African American to hold the highest official position in our organization.

Following a tradition that began 80 years ago with President Franklin Roosevelt, Mr. Carter proclaimed March as Red Cross Month, encouraging the public to support the Red Cross and reflect on the selflessness of those who serve our lifesaving mission every day.

Throughout his life, the late President Carter was recognized as a humanitarian, well known for his commitment to social justice and human rights, supporting charitable causes worldwide. In 2002, he received the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his relentless efforts over many decades to resolve international conflicts peacefully, promote democracy and human rights, and foster economic and social development.

The global Red Cross network is founded on principles such as humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality. President Carter’s legacy exemplifies these values perfectly. Whether it be his public health initiatives around the world, his efforts to ensure countries have free and honest elections, his diplomatic negotiations to bring peace to the Middle East, or his work to build housing for those in need, we recognize President Jimmy Carter as someone who embodied these principles and thank him for his lifetime of service.

I am so thankful for the team before, during and after.

It's a beautiful day to make homes safer against the risk of fires!

We've got Red Cross volunteers out alongside @FDNY & @FDNYFoundation in upper Manhattan to install free smoke alarms and educate neighbors about fire safety.

Cooking brings family & friends together. Be sure to include a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet (1 meter) around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried. Check out our kid-free zone free printable: https://t.co/hdiIfqMjFt #firepreventionweek
