As part of the world's largest humanitarian network, the American Red Cross is continuously working on the front lines of the climate crisis. Every day, we see the heartbreak of families and communities trying to cope with more intense storms, heavier rainfall, higher temperatures, stronger hurricanes, and more devastating wildfires in the U.S. and around the world. The funds we receive provide direct support to those who have been impacted by these devastating events.
