Facts about the American Red Cross:

 

A Local Non-Profit Organization: Neighbors Helping Neighbors - Each year, the American Red Cross responds immediately to more than 70,000 disasters, including house or apartment fires (the majority of disaster responses), hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hazardous materials spills, transportation accidents, explosions, and other natural and man-made disasters.  That means that every day people like you went to someone's damaged home to help a family in need. But we don't just wait for disaster to strike. Red Cross volunteers work to prevent and prepare for emergencies by providing education and training for their neighbors and friends. There is a place for you at your Red Cross.
 

Responding Around The World: Whether a major earthquake rips through a South American city or a hurricane slams Hawaii, Red Cross volunteers provide disaster relief for the victims of disaster.

 

A Proud History: For over 130 years Red Cross volunteers have been guided by a single principle: to help people in need, regardless of race, religion, gender, or national origin. The Red Cross has been there, and will continue to be there - first, best, and always - for disaster victims in need of food, clothing, and shelter.
