Community Partners

Our nation and our community depend on the American Red Cross.

Every company, whatever its size, can establish a meaningful partnership with the American Red Cross. A partnership can help your organization enhance the skills, confidence, safety and readiness of your employees and provide the Red Cross with the resources it needs to continue to help our communities prepare for and respond to disasters.

"When a family flees a burning home with nothing but their lives …the Red Cross is there."

The members of the Ready 365/Disaster Partners program enable your local Red Cross to respond immediately to the needs of the individuals and families impacted by disaster through annual financial donations. No matter a hurricane, wildfire, house fire or tornado, the American Red Cross provides immediate basic needs for shelter, food, clothing, medications, emotional support and health services. All Disaster Relief is free to these victims because of the generosity donors like these.

Donations from these members offset a range of expenses including warehousing, supplies, shelter and feeding costs, maintaining and deploying our fleet of disaster response vehicles and reconnecting individuals separated during disasters. Our Ready 365/Disaster Partners are recognized as community, civic and philanthropic-minded individuals, businesses or organizations and receive a high level of recognition and access to Red Cross information and leadership. They truly are leaders when it comes to disaster response.

"When a tornado demolishes a neighborhood and victims seek shelter …the Red Cross is there."
