Gulf Coast Commitment:
AmeriCares disaster relief efforts save lives and restore health
Hurricane Katrina devastated millions of Americans in New Orleans and throughout Gulf Coast states. AmeriCares responded immediately - delivering critically needed medicines, supporting doctors, aiding victims and helping local aid charities in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
Today, we’re still responding to people’s needs Katrina-affected neighborhoods. We support families in crisis with charitable contributions of medicines, medical supplies and emergency relief.
Since 1984, AmeriCares has delivered more than $100 million worth of lifesaving aid and disaster relief in the United States. With support from people like you, we’ve helped America recover from natural disasters - from California wildfires to deadly tornadoes which ravage small towns in the South and Midwest.
And AmeriCares stands ready to help when the next disaster strikes. We know there will be new hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters that will cause future havoc and destruction. AmeriCares will help, whenever and wherever we are needed. And we hope you will support our efforts.
As caring Americans, we have a long and proud history of not only helping our neighbors right here, but also our neighbors around the world.
That’s what AmeriCares does. Because of the giving spirit of people like you, we’ve been able to offer medical supplies, medicines and aid to some of the world’s neediest people in times of disaster and when facing the crisis of chronic poverty and disease outbreaks. Our mission is a simple one: to provide immediate response to emergency medical needs, as well as to support long-term humanitarian assistance programs for all people around the world, irrespective of race, creed or political persuasion.
But we can only continue our work abroad and here on our own shores if you act now.
