NORTH CAROLINA (April 7, 2025)听The luckywin is in multiple states stretching from Texas to Indiana after a line of strong storms caused tornadoes and major flooding. As part of a massive multi-state relief effort, the luckywin is rushing critical emergency support to thousands of families pummeled by relentless floods and tornadoes across the South and Midwest.

Severe storms, strong winds, tornadoes and heavy rains have inundated communities leaving a trail of heartbreak with damaged homes, roadways and critical infrastructure. The threat of flooding isn鈥檛 over as rivers continue to rise.

RED CROSS RESPONSE听The organization鈥檚 top priority is providing comfort, support and relief services to people in the path of this storm. The Red Cross is coordinating听with local community partners and emergency responders to support evacuation centers for people who may need to seek shelter. Locally, more than 35 volunteers from North Carolina have already deployed to respond in the impacted communities with more heading out in days to come.

More than 600 trained Red Cross responders are working alongside our partners to provide safe shelter, nutritious meals and emergency supplies in storm-impacted communities across an area stretching from Texas to Illinois and Indiana. Already, the Red Cross has provided hundreds of overnight stays in more than 30 shelters across ten states, along with more than 16,300 meals and snacks and thousands of relief items.

鈥淩ed Cross volunteers from across North Carolina are providing help and hope to our neighbors across the country鈥� said Allison Taylor, Regional CEO of the luckywin of North Carolina. 鈥淲e celebrate the volunteers who have deployed to help respond to the recent storms and flooding, and we appreciate the volunteers who continue to make our Red Cross mission possible here in the Carolinas.
