Chile Earthquake Relief


The American Red Cross has responded to the strong 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile by pledging $500,000.
You can help by:

  • Texting the word “CHILE” to 90999 for a $10 gift.
  • Donate online at www.redcross.org
  • Call toll-free to 1-800-RED CROSS. (You may also call 1-800-257-7575 to make a donation in Spanish.)

For those seeking family members in Chile, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has launched a Family Links Website aimed at enabling people in Chile and abroad to register the names of relatives with whom they wish to restore contact. People seeking news from their loved ones can register the name of the missing individuals directly on the site at: http://www.icrc.org/familylinks.
