Jan 22, 2025
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) — The American Red Cross Indiana Region has received a $100,000 donation from Do it Best and the Do it Best Foundation.
This financial gift will support Red Cross response efforts in southern California, where wildfires have reduced neighborhoods to ash and forced thousands of people from their homes.
“We are grateful to Do it Best and the Do it Best Foundation for their generous support of our mission,” said Terry Stigdon, regional chief executive officer of the Indiana Region Red Cross.
“This gift enables the Red Cross to provide help and hope to the people of California with necessities like food, shelter, emotional care, recovery planning and more.”
Thousands of Californians are devastated by the catastrophic wildfires that wiped out their homes, cherished mementos and even their livelihoods.
The American Red Cross is there, and disaster workers are making sure no one faces this heartbreaking crisis alone.
Nearly 700 Red Cross responders are working day and night to provide comfort and shelter to those affected.
Since the fires started over a week ago, the Red Cross has provided almost 90,000 meals and snacks with the help of partners.
