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 Missouri region. Even if you only have a few dollars to spare, your donation to American Red Cross disaster relief will make a significant difference in the lives of those facing disasters. Make a one-time donation today either online, by phone, or by mail, or set up a recurring monthly donation to make an even bigger difference.
The humanitarian work that we do at the American Red Cross would not be possible without our volunteers. We have a variety of disaster relief volunteers opportunities as well as blood donor ambassador positions for blood drives. Other Red Cross potential positions include facility management, health and safety, Service to the Armed Forces, and professional specialties like photography, IT and more. Check out our current volunteer opportunities near you in Sioux Falls and Eastern South Dakota!
The Red Cross actively supports fundraising on many popular platforms - whether you use Facebook, Instagram, or prefer to live stream, we have the resources to get you started!
