The American Red Cross is not a government agency. Our programs and services are funded through the generosity of the American people. All American Red Cross disaster assistance is provided without charge. It’s a gift from the people of our community, people like you.

Contributions to the American Red Cross, a tax-exempt organization under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, are deductible for computing income and estate taxes. For more information please call our office at 715-344-4052.

Your cash donation is vital to saving lives. You may donate to the Portage County Chapter in several ways.

2) Set up a giving program to give monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Call us and we can help you do so.

4) In-kind donations are most appreciated. Please call us at 715-344-4052 for our updated wish list. The Red Cross is normally unable to accept small, individual donations or collections of items such as clothing, food or cleaning supplies.
