Daniel Island Community Fund donates $50,000 to American Red Cross

Money to support disaster relief as hurricane season approaches
In order to offset the extraordinary challenges to the American Red Cross of South Carolina’s mission of responding to disasters due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Daniel Island Community Fund is donating $50,000 to the organization. 
 
This partnership will help at this uniquely critical moment in the state and nation. The 2021 hurricane season is predicted to be one of the busiest seasons on record and as the American Red Cross of South Carolina works to prepare for disasters of any kind, this gift and partnership will help meet the needs of the communities in South Carolina. Whether it is a family impacted by a fire, a flood or a storm, this gift will help provide hope and support.
 
“This has been a very difficult time for everyone in South Carolina and around the country as large disasters continue to occur. As we continue to operate in this COVID-19 environment, our team continues to work hard to respond to those in need across our state and our neighbors in other regions,” said Rod Tolbert, the regional CEO of the Red Cross of South Carolina. “We are so appreciative of the Daniel Island Community Fund and their generous donation and commitment to partner with us to better our communities and make them more resilient.”
 
“We are very excited to provide another grant to the Red Cross through the Daniel Island Community Fund, which partners with up to 50 organizations a year throughout the Lowcountry,” said Pete Harper, grant committee member with the Daniel Island Community Fund. “We’ve been providing support for nearly a decade now and will continue to do it based on the Red Cross’ efforts in the Lowcountry - especially during COVID.” 
 
One of the most important things people can do right now is to make a donation, of any size, to help the American Red Cross continue to deliver its life saving mission nationwide by visiting redcross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or texting the word CORONAVIRUS to 90999. These funds will help make the urgent investments needed to ensure people can continue to turn to the Red Cross for help and hope – when it’s needed most.
 
The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its 
mission.
