We are the American Red Cross
Each day, thousands of people – people just like you – provide compassionate care to those in need. Our network of
generous donors, volunteers and employees share a mission of preventing and relieving su�ering, here at home and
around the world.
We roll up our sleeves and donate time, money and blood. We learn or teach life-saving skills so our communities can
be better prepared when the need arises. We do this every day because the Red Cross is needed - every day.

support to those in crisis, to helping you be prepared to respond in emergencies.
