More Ways to Help
The devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey has evoked so many emotions and a desire to assist our neighbors in the south. Displaced families will require many resources and Frisco ISD Council of PTAs recognizes the American Red Cross as the best partner to ensure their needs are met including shelter, medical care, and other assistance throughout all stages of recovery.

Frisco ISD Council of PTAs has partnered with the American Red Cross and other local PTA councils to provide a secure fundraising portal.

3 Benefits of a Monetary Donation
When you make a monetary contribution, you're doing the following:
  1. Monetary donations go directly to assisting displaced individuals. Donated supplies and items, while much appreciated, often have to be stored and then shipped to affected areas creating an expense and a loss of funds that could be used to directly benefit individuals
  2. Helping the Red Cross utilize funds to purchase items in affected areas which helps boost that local economy
  3. Allowing funds to be utilized as more needs are identified 

Why Red Cross?
The American Red Cross is helping the people affected by Hurricane Harvey in Texas and all across the Gulf coast. Shelters are open, truck loads of supplies are being distributed and volunteers in place. Ahead of Hurricane Harvey the Red Cross mobilized hundreds of trained Red Cross disaster relief workers, truckloads of kitchen supplies, and tens of thousands of ready-to-eat meals. Trailers full of shelter supplies including cots and blankets—enough to support more than 20,000 people arrived in Texas on August 25. The Red Cross is also working in close collaboration with government officials and community partners in both Texas and Louisiana. Learn more about the American Red Cross.
