Mission
The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for , and respond to emergencies.
The American Red Cross is not a government agency, nor does the Red Cross receive funding from the federal, state or local governments. Our emergency services are free and made possible by donations of time and money from the American people.
