The best way to provide immediate relief to your neighbors facing emergency situations is through a monetary donation. Our disaster assistance programs rely heavily on the generous financial support of citizens in the Arkansas region.

The humanitarian work that we do at American Red Cross would not be possible without our volunteers.

A passion for making a difference in our communities has fueled Julie’s desire to work with nonprofits.
After 20 plus years in Southern California working in the corporate sector, Julie moved back to Northwest Arkansas and began working with nonprofits. Julie saw the American Red Cross as a way to help so many of our neighbors across Northwest Arkansas during times of both blue skies and grey skies.
