1 AnnuAl Report 2016 bringing communities hope

And we are proud of all that we accomplished together.

Together with our partner organizations and shared resources from other Red Cross regions, we made sure families had what they needed to begin to put their lives back together.

3 FROM THE CEO AND BOARD CHAIR Greetings! As we look back on the 2016 fiscal year, we are grateful for the hard work of our dedicated American Red Cross volunteers and employees, as well as the compassionate support of our generous donors. And we are proud of all that we accomplished together. When devastating floods impacted 33 counties in the spring and tornadoes ripped through North Mississippi days before Christmas, Mississippi Red Cross workers were there. Together with our partner organizations and shared resources from other Red Cross regions, we made sure families had what they needed to begin to put their lives back together. Throughout these disasters, generous donors from across the region stepped in to help fund the response and recovery efforts and provide volunteer assistance. Throughout the 2016 fiscal year, people across Mississippi including neighbors who took the time to get involved and our partners worked side-by-side with the Red Cross to deliver critical assistance when it was needed most. Together, we kept our commitment to a thriving community. As you read through this report, you will learn about the services and programs your local Red Cross has provided. To all of you who shared your time, talents and resources to support the Red Cross, on behalf of those we serve, my heartfelt thanks. Ivy Lavell Williams The American Red Cross helps people in need every single day, not just during large scale disasters. We are deeply grateful to our donors and volunteers who selflesslyy support our work so together we can be there providing people in crisis with relief for today and hope for tomorrow.

Many Mississippi volunteers answered the call of duty and deployed to disasters outside of Mississippi. The Red Cross has the ability to quickly mobilize the power of our volunteer forces.
