Every day, the American Red Cross assists people who face emergencies. We secure food and lodging for the family struck by a home fire. We help a deployed soldier get home for the birth of his son. We provide blood to the child battling cancer. We have prevented and relieved suffering, one day at a time, for more than 130 years. In that time, we have served millions of people. They lived in small towns and big cities across the United States and around the world. Wherever they were, they had one thing in common. They knew where to turn during moments of great need. They knew that— 365 days a year—the American Red Cross was ready to help. 

Through the Ready 365 Giving Program, you can help, too. When you join our corporate membership program, your company stands with the Red Cross as we provide lifesaving services. You are with us each day as we:

• Respond to more than 350 disasters throughout the region.
• Empower area residents and employees with lifesaving courses such as First Aid/CPR, Water Safety and Babysitter’s Training.
• Assist over 500 military members, their families and veterans in our community.
• Collect 98,000 pints of blood locally.
