American Red Cross

The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization. We provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. Today, in addition to domestic disaster relief, the American Red Cross offers compassionate services in five other areas: community services that help the needy; support and comfort for military members and their families; the collection, processing and distribution of lifesaving blood and blood products; educational programs that promote health and safety; and international relief and development programs.
