Emergencies don’t stop, and neither does the American Red Cross. During challenging times such as these, it is even more important for organizations like the Red Cross to be there to help people who need it most.

Please join us in helping to support the urgent needs of our lifesaving work – for hospital patients who need critical blood every two seconds; for people who need food, recovery support and care after disasters of all sizes; for military families who need emergency assistance; for people who rely on others to save their lives with skills like first aid and CPR; and for vulnerable communities that need international humanitarian aid.

Please join with other caring individuals like you to help those in need. Your donation will enable the Red Cross to continue delivering its lifesaving mission – both today and in the days ahead.

Below are examples of how your donation can help:

• $26 can cover the cost of providing emergency communications and critical community services to one military family.
• $50 can provide a full day of food and shelter for one person after a disaster in the U.S.
• $120 can provide a complete emergency kit for family of five with hygiene supplies, blankets, tarps, water containers, a kitchen set and more after an international disaster.
• A gift of any size can help ensure that lifesaving blood and blood products are available.

A donation of any amount is appreciated. Thank you!
