When national and global disasters occur
Whirlpool Corporation and employees rise to meet the needs of our communities.
Rising to Meet the Needs of Communities with the American Red Cross
When national and global disasters occur, the people at Whirlpool are among the first to respond and extend support. We recognize both immediate relief needs and long-term rebuilding efforts required to see a community build back what has been lost due to natural disasters such as recent hurricane damage in the United States.
Whirlpool Corporation has partnered with the American Red Cross on disaster relief and response initiatives. American Red Cross will use funds toward immediate needs such as food, water, temporary shelter, medical services and emotional support. Whirlpool Foundation will match the disaster relief contributions made by Whirlpool employees and retirees dollar-for-dollar, up to $20,000.
Your gift to the American Red Cross will provide critical support during this time of need.
Thank you for your generosity.

WHIRLPOOL… CARING AT A GLOBAL LEVEL
We partnered with the Red Cross® to help address the migrant crisis in Europe and natural disaster relief after earthquakes in Italy. “White Goods for Red Cross” provided necessary equipment for Red Cross® reception centers in Rome, Milan and Ventimiglia and one home appliance to each of the 33 other reception centers across Italy. Nearly 5,000 beneficiaries were assisted in the three major centers by the end of the year. As part of the earthquake relief efforts, 93 percent of employees in Italy generously contributed financial support to help the Red Cross® build a mobile laundry unit for use by affected communities.
Whirlpool Foundation, the primary philanthropic arm of Whirlpool Corporation, was established in 1951 as a way for the company to assist nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life in the communities in which Whirlpool operates. *The American Red Cross name and emblem are used with its permission, which in no way constitutes an endorsement, express or implied, of any product, service, company, opinion or political position.
