About the American Red Cross

The humanitarian mission of the American Red Cross connects us to people and communities across the nation and around the world. The common bonds of humanity and compassion unite us together, not just in the face of emergencies and disasters, but in helping our neighbors every day.

Since being founded by Clara Barton in 1881, the Red Cross has been a consistent lifeline for people when they need us the most. The depth and breadth of our services – whenever and wherever they're called for – is unmatched by any organization in the world.

These extraordinary efforts are made possible by people like you who roll up their sleeves and open their hearts to help their neighbors – by donating time, money and blood, or by taking a course to learn CPR, First Aid or other essential skills. Supported by our headquarters in Washington, D.C. and more than a thousand locations in communities across the country, our volunteers and contributors make a difference in millions of lives each year.
