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 80,000 people in life-saving skills and respond to a disaster about once
every 40 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.
