This holiday season, give a gift that gives back by supporting the mission of the Red Cross. Charitable donations make great gifts for everyone on your list: family, friends, colleagues and neighbors.
Honor the people you love with a donation to one of our meaningful causes below.
Select "Make This a Holiday Gift for a Loved One" and we'll send free holiday cards or e-cards to announce your gifts.
Know your charitable gift will help people when they need it most.
Your gift of any amount will help save the day when the next emergency strikes. Whether that is assistance when a home burns down in your community, when someone needs CPR or a lifesaving blood transfusion, or when a family needs to contact a deployed service member in an emergency, your gift supports the many urgent needs of the American Red Cross.
Emergencies can force families to leave their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. That’s why a Red Cross response always begins with a safe place to sleep, hot food and a hug. You can help by supplying a full day of emergency shelter with urgently needed essentials, including 3 meals, 2 blankets, 1 cot and personal hygiene supplies for people impacted by disaster.
Give a gift to help ensure no family goes hungry after a disaster strikes by helping provide nourishing meals and snacks distributed at shelters and through mobile feeding in hard-hit communities.
Your gift is vital in bridging the distance and strengthening the bonds of military families who have sacrificed so much for our nation. Whether it's supporting families during the birth of a child, through the loss or serious illness of a loved one, or assisting in navigating other emergencies, your support helps ensure they can be together when it matters most. Stand with these brave families and help them through their most challenging times.
Help the American Red Cross work together with Red Cross national societies around the globe to foster a culture of preparedness that reduces vulnerability to climate-related and other natural disasters, inspires resilience, and carries the promise of reducing both disaster costs and human suffering.
Help ensure that the lifesaving gift of blood and blood products will be available and as safe as possible whenever and wherever it is needed. Your support can help save the lives of accident victims, patients battling cancer or sickle cell disease, people facing complications from childbirth and others.

"All of my friends live in abundance. Not one of them is in 'need' of anything I might choose to send them...This gift, in their name, make them feel good. It makes me feel good." -Michele Zinders, Middleton, WI
