DONATING TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
The American Red Cross provides assistance to people in need...free of charge. Your contribution means a great deal to the organization...but even more to the families who rely on the Red Cross to help them through some of the most difficult times of their lives.
The American Red Cross is not a government agency. We must rely on the generosity of the American public. With your ongoing support, we will continue to be there providing people in crisis with relief for today and hope for tomorrow.

In order to provide its services, the Red Cross relies on generous contributions from the public and the United Way.
Together, we can save a life.
