Every 2 seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. That’s why the need for blood is constant. Giving blood is a selfless act and helps saves lives. To learn about donating blood, hosting a blood drive and our biomedical services, visit RedCrossBlood.org.

If you have been through a disaster, or have a question related to our disaster and local community resources, please call: 1-800-RED CROSS

An average of 90 cents of every dollar spent is invested in providing care and comfort for those in need. Every single donation will make a difference in someone’s life. Visit redcross.org/donate to make a financial donation.

For questions or requests related to services available to members of the Armed Forces and their families, please call during standard business hours. To speak to a Red Cross caseworker 24-hours-a-day, call (877) 272-7337.
