United States: Mercy-USA provided $65,000 in cash grants to six major relief organizations directly helping the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on our country. Grants were provided to the American Red Cross ($25,000), The Salvation Army ($15,000), and funds setup by New York Governor George Pataki ($10,000), New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani ($10,000) and two firefighters’ associations ($5,000). Through these grants, the survivors, their families, and the rescue and recovery workers received food, personal care items, trauma counseling and other necessary support.
Mercy-USA has provided food aid, hygiene items, shelter assistance and other relief to the victims of disasters like the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, the Los Angeles earthquake in 1994, and the severe Iowa floods of 1993
