This summer, we were thrilled to earn our 3.5 millionth customer. To mark this achievement, we\u2019re proud to be making a $350,000 donation to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">American Red Cross<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By now, we hope you\u2019re familiar with the very\nimportant work the Red Cross does. The Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to\nvictims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation&#8217;s blood; teaches\nskills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports\nmilitary members and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our support of the Red Cross is ongoing. It\u2019s a\nnon-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the\npublic to perform its mission. We have regularly provided\nfinancial assistance in support of its relief efforts during natural disasters,\nand host blood donation drives at our contact centers in Oregon and Arizona\nmultiple times each year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This latest donation represents a proactive step to help assure that valuable resources are\navailable to the Red Cross if and when they are called upon during tornados,\nhurricanes, or other disasters in the year ahead. We are honored to provide it\non behalf of our 3.5 million customers and 2,400 employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve always believed in charitable giving as a rewarding way to demonstrate our appreciation for the employees and customers who\u2019ve contributed to our success, and to help make our communities stronger. In 2018, to celebrate our 3 millionth customer, we gifted $3 million, split between our employees and three charities they selected, including <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org\/learn-more\/the-issue?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkbGv1uzk4wIVgchkCh2A_gr4EAAYASAAEgLOhvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\">Meals on Wheels<\/a>, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/oregon.providence.org\/our-services\/p\/providence-cancer-center\/\" target=\"_blank\">Providence Cancer Institute<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shrinershospitalsforchildren.org\/shc\" target=\"_blank\">Shriners Hospital for Children<\/a>.
