The Red Cross is proud that an average of 90 cents of every dollar we spend is invested in delivering care and comfort to those in need.
Giving Day FAQsGiving Day is an opportunity for local communities to come together on one day to help the families who have been impacted by a home fire or other disaster and who urgently need Red Cross services to get back on their feet.
The ninth annual American Red Cross Giving Day is on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. Giving Day takes place in March during Red Cross Month, when we recognize the people who make our mission possible — volunteers, blood donors, people trained in lifesaving skills and our supporters — who step up to aid others when #HelpCantWait.
So how does Giving Day work? In the weeks leading up to Giving Day, we'll share stories of how the Red Cross is helping families prepare for and recover from disasters big and small, each and every day. This year, our goal is to bring together 30,000 supporters to help families when they need it most.
