Hilary announced today that she will donate $200,000 to the American Red Cross and $50,000 to USA Harvest to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The American Red Cross is setting up shelters, food, water and critical assistance for the thousands of displaced and homeless people in the gulf area, while USA Harvest is supplying food to those shelters. Hilary's donation to USA Harvest will result in over 300,000 cans of food being donated to those in need. In addition, Hilary is encouraging her fans to bring canned food to her concerts that will be collected and ditributed to the region. Hilary is also encouraging her fans to send money to both charities.
Hilary said, "It is heartbreaking to see the devestation on TV. People are missing family members, and they have absolutely nothing left, not even food or water. I want to do everything I can to help those who have survived to help rebuild their lives."
