You are the foundation and heart of the American Red Cross. From donating blood, to supporting our military family, providing critical lifesaving training, working internationally or responding to disasters – so many people help carry out our mission in every aspect of the human spirit. We alleviate human suffering every day with dedication, resilience and heart. To all of those who stand by the Red Cross in anyway: we THANK YOU!

With your help, we believe we can tap into the why. We want to know more about your involvement and why you are part of our mission? We launched the #WhyIRedCross campaign to highlight our volunteers, donors and supporters to provide a means for them to share their Red Cross stories. This social media campaign encourages anyone to post about their Red Cross experience(s) on their Twitter and Instagram accounts through short, yet impactful blurbs. We’ve chosen Twitter and Instagram as the primary ways to get that message across.  

How you can participate and help us spread the word to invite more Red Crossers to engage with us?

Share your story on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag, #WhyIRedCross and tag us on Twitter (@INRedCross) or Instagram (@indianaredcross). You might be asking how can I participate if I do not have Twitter or Instagram accounts, well maybe you have Facebook? Please tell us your involvement with us on our Facebook account (and we will post on Twitter or Instagram)! Please include a photo or video.
