Mission Statement
The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disaster and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.
Description
Volunteers constitute 96 percent of our total work force to carry on our humanitarian work.
Every year the Red cross responds to more than 70,000 disasters-including approximately 150 home fires every day.
About 11 million Americans turn to us to learn first aid, CPR, swimming, and other health and safety skills.
Half the nation's blood supply is collected by the Red Cross.
Among our emergency services for the men and women of the armed forces is the delivery of urgent family messages-around the clock and around the globe.
As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, Red Cross reconnects families separated by conflicts and disasters around the world through international tracking services and Red Cross messages.
