Our hope is that 'Dining for Disaster' brings in $10,000.

We need the community's support and that's what Dining for Disaster is all about.

The response from the restaurant community has been awesome. We are just overwhelmed and very grateful that 30 restaurants have agreed to participate. We hope this is the first of many.

Even though our chapter processed over $2 million in donations for Katrina, we didn't keep any of that.

The positive emotions that arise in...unpromising circumstances demonstrate that social ties and meaningful work are deeply desired, readily improvised, and intensely rewarding. The very structure of our economy and society prevent these goals from being achieved.

The Red Cross is excited to be working with Operation HOPE and other partners to help disaster victims regain financial independence.
