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 community members in you region. Even if you only have a few dollars to spare, your donation to the American Red Cross disaster relief fund 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.
