The American Red Cross provides disaster relief, supports military families, collects lifesaving blood donations, and offers health and safety training. It helps people affected by hurricanes and home fires in the US, provides aid to countries in need, and supplies blood to hospitals. The Red Cross also educates the public in CPR, first aid, and disaster preparedness. It brings supplies to armed forces overseas and assists military families with connections and support. People can help by donating money or blood, volunteering, or learning lifesaving skills from Red Cross courses.
