A fierce F-5 tornado struck southwestern Kansas the evening of Friday, May 4, killing at least 10 people and destroying approximately 95% of the town of Greensburg, Kansas. A small town of roughly 1,574 people whose only claim to fame is the world’s largest hand-dug well. So Kansas.

American Red Cross volunteers and staff from across Kansas and neighboring states are providing safe shelter, food and relief services for those affected by the tornado and the flooding. Red Cross workers have set up emergency shelters in the affected Kansas counties, providing food, water and other services.

Donate to the Disaster Relief Fund

All American Red Cross disaster assistance is free, made possible by voluntary donations of time and money from the American people. You can help the victims of one of the largest and most destructive tornados in Kansas history by making a financial gift to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which enables the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to victims of disaster.

Making a financial contribution is the best way to help. That and praying, of course.
