Revisit some of our proudest and most memorable moments and help us continue our work in the new year.
The American Red Cross of the Central Valley serves five counties throughout the heart of California: Fresno, Tulare, Kings, Madera, and Mariposa. From the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the fertile Valley floor, Red Cross volunteers provide hope, comfort, and resiliency to residents throughout the chapter every day.
In 2023, the American Red Cross Central California Region was honored as a Nonprofit of the Year by State Senator Melissa Hurtado who covers Fresno, Kern, Kings and Tulare Counties. We’re so honored to be included among 100 other nonprofits recognized for making a difference in their communities. Thank you to our dedicated volunteers for carrying out our lifesaving mission.
