The
Jackson Area Chapter of the American Red Cross is not a government agency. The programs and

generosity of individuals, businesses, and foundations who give
voluntary gifts of time and money. Our citizens know that they
can depend on the Red Cross in times of disaster. |

In-Kind
Donations |
|
An
in-kind donation is a contribution of goods or services in
lieu of cash. Examples of in-kind donations the Jackson Area Chapter will
accept includes new blankets,
hygiene products, toiletry items, bottled water, paper products and
other goods and
services. |
|
|
|
Blanket
Buddy Program |
|
In response to an urgent need to supply families with
blankets in the event of a disaster, the local chapter, with
assistance from Union University students created the
"Blanket Buddy" program. Many
Churches, Civic Organizations, Private Clubs and Other Caring
Individuals have joined our "Blanket Buddy"
program. |
|
|
New
Blankets
may be dropped off at the Jackson Area Chapter located at 1981
Hollywood Drive, Suite 100, Jackson, TN. If you would like
us to pick up new blankets in the local
Jackson area, or have any questions, please contact the Jackson Area Chapter
of the American Red Cross at (731) 427-5543. |
|
| Comfort
Kit Program |
|
Many Churches,
Civic Organizations, Private Clubs and Other
Caring Individuals help us each
week by donating hygiene and |
|
toiletry items for our Comfort
Kit Program. When
a family is burned out of their home, usually they get out with
just the clothes on their backs. They lose just about everything
because of fire and smoke damage, and also the water damage
that occurs after the fire department has put the fire out. We
will provide them with emergency food, clothing and shelter. |
 |
|
Comfort kits always bring a smile to even the smallest of
disaster victims. |
|
|
In addition, we also provide them with
blankets and Comfort Kits
containing basic toiletries used to help maintain
personal hygiene. |
