Thank You to Our Mission Leaders for Their Support!
Our work to support people and communities during disasters and other emergencies would not be possible without the generosity of these Mission Leaders.
It all begins with you. The Red Cross belongs to the American people. You fund it, you donate your blood, you prepare for and respond to disasters, you take and instruct first aid classes. You make the Red Cross what it is today, and you hold the keys to its future.
