This year, Missouri citizens have faced tragic losses of homes, businesses, belongings, and even their lives in the face of extreme weather conditions. We are so proud of the way broadcasters have worked tirelessly to ensure that their listeners and viewers have the information they need to stay safe and recoup.
We have partnered with the Missouri chapter of the American Red Cross to set up an easy-to-use donation portal that can be shared in any way that suits your audience. The donations go directly to the efforts in the state of Missouri to help offer meals, shelter, and other forms of relief. You can find the donation portal here: https://www.redcross.org/donate/cm/missouribroadcasters-pub.html/
Since the beginning of this year alone, the Red Cross efforts within our state have included:
• 1,675 shelter stays for families
• Over 21,942 meals
• Nearly 500 volunteers
• Over 857 instances of connecting victims with health and mental health services
• Over 3,370 relief items
Donations to the portal go directly to these and other efforts in our state.
