American Red Cross

Supporting community health has been part of our mission for over 140 years. Our roots trace back to our founder Clara Barton, who previously aided wounded soldiers during the Civil War. During her tenure leading the Red Cross, she continued to care for people by rallying volunteers, doctors and nurses to help those affected by major disasters like the 1889 Johnstown Flood in Pennsylvania. Today, Red Cross volunteers continue her legacy using their kind hearts and unique talents to serve communities in need. This Red Cross Month, help us celebrate and acknowledge the incredible humanitarians who make our mission possible by sharing words of encouragement and tagging your favorite Red Crosser in the comments. #RedCrossMonth

“A better world starts with building stronger communities.” For decades, Ford Philanthropy, the global philanthropic arm of Ford Motor Company, has partnered with the Red Cross to support communities in crisis.

Today on Red Cross Giving Day, Ford Philanthropy is paying it forward once again by matching your donations up to $250,000 until midnight ET. Double your impact and help provide shelter, food, and emergency assistance to people in need when disasters strike. Donate today: https://rdcrss.org/41VaVA4
