For over half of the 250-year history of the U.S., communities have cared for each other through the American Red Cross. During our Red Cross Month celebration in March, we honor how people today deliver support when help can’t wait.
Swipe through our slideshow for some then-and-now examples of our mission, which continues to endure today because compassion is at the heart of our communities.
