Together we are stronger.
Our hearts and prayers are with our neighbors and the families who have experienced horrific loss of life and destruction of property. As a community, we stand together to help. Our Jewish Federation of Louisville is ready to help those impacted by the extensive tornado and storm damage that has affected residents in Kentucky and surrounding regions.
A very heartfelt thank you to those who have supported our crisis relief effort in Western Kentucky. With close to 800 donors, funds to be donated estimated at $175k and numerous volunteer engagements our community made a tremendous difference.
We are closing our direct support, however, interested donors can still help by contributing directly to the Red Cross.
Ways you can still help:
DONATE BLOOD: The Red Cross is providing blood and blood products to hospitals in response to the devastating tornadoes in Western Kentucky. The Red Cross remains in touch with hospital partners throughout affected areas and stands ready to provide additional blood products as needed. Make an appointment today at your nearest blood drive by visiting www.redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS.
RED CROSS EMERGENCY APP: Download the free Red Cross Emergency app for access to real-time information including shelter locations and safety tips. The Emergency app is available in app stores by searching for the American Red Cross or going to redcross.org/apps.
DONATIONS: Financial donations to American Red Cross can be made online at redcross.org, by calling 800-RED CROSS and designating to “disaster relief” or by mail to American Red Cross Kentucky Headquarters, 510 East Chestnut Street, Louisville, KY 40202. Please write “Southern and Midwest Tornadoes” in the memo line of a check.
