American Red Cross
www.redcross.org
The American Red Cross has helped people mobilize to help their
neighbors for 125 years. Last year, victims of a record 72,883
disasters, most of them fires, turned to the nearly 1 million
volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross for help and hope.
Through more than 800 locally supported chapters, more than 15 million people each year gain the skills they need to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their homes, communities and world. Almost 4 million people give blood-the gift of life-through the Red Cross, making it the largest supplier of blood and blood products in the United States.
The Red Cross helps thousands of U.S. service members separated from their families by military duty stay connected. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, a global network of more than 180 national societies, the Red Cross helps restore hope and dignity to the world's most vulnerable people. An average of 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs.
The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money, and blood to do its work. For more information, visit redcross.org.
