ABOUT RED CROSS MONTH
In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared March as Red Cross Month when “our people rededicate themselves to the splendid aims and activities of the Red Cross.”
For the past 79 years, the American Red Cross has spent the month of March honoring people like you who make the lifesaving mission of the American Red Cross possible – individuals across the country who turn compassion into action, helping others in times of crisis.
These supporters are people trained in lifesaving skills, blood donors, volunteers and those who support us with financial contributions – all who step up when help can’t wait.
During Red Cross Month you can make a difference by supporting our mission in a variety of ways:
