The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors—down the street, across the country and around the world—in emergencies.

The Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross Movement, provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.

Red Cross chapters are the backbone of our local presence. Your support helps us maintain a nationwide network of chapters to provide lifesaving programs and services in communities across the country— so that no one is ever alone in their time of greatest need. The strength and health of our chapters are crucial for the Red Cross as one body to meet the challenges ahead.

You can help ensure that the Red Cross can continue to provide these lifesaving services and has the resources, talent and ability to continue to deliver them by making a donation to support all of the core services of the American Red Cross today.
