Description of organization and program activities

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 suffering, 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.
