The American Red Cross saves lives. When disaster strikes,
we respond with food, shelter and hope. When barriers of distance,
language or warfare separate loved ones, we open lines of
communication. When families, co-workers and communities must prepare for
emergencies, we help them take action.
Each year in our community,
we bring together 1,500 people to care for their neighbors, train 70,000
people in life-saving skills and respond to a disaster about once every 48
hours. In emergencies large and small - a house fire, an earthquake, a
flood - right here in our community or on distant shores, people can count
on the Red Cross. |
