Midwest Floods and Tornadoes
A recent onslaught of tornadoes, storms and floods striking the Central United States has destroyed several communities and forced thousands to evacuate their homes.
Families and individuals affected by these disasters are being met by hundreds of Red Cross volunteers and workers, recently deployed from around the country to lend a hand. These response teams have provided shelter for thousands and already served 100,000+ meals and snacks.
