The Holidays Are Here!
The season of giving thanks is upon us and I want to express
my gratitude to Red Cross volunteers, donors, community partners and staff
members who carry out the mission of the American Red Cross.
Our mission is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in
the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the
generosity of donors. You allow us to
carry out this mission of providing compassionate care to those in need.
Your time, treasure, talent and teamwork allow us to respond
when disaster strikes, whether it’s a single-family house fire, a tornado that
affects hundreds, or a hurricane that affects tens of thousands. You help
provide shelter, food, clothing and hygiene items to families who have lost
everything, along with health and mental health services to help families and
entire communities get back on their feet. You help military members, veterans
and their families prepare for, cope with, and respond to the challenges of
military service including emergency communications and support to wounded
warriors and veterans. Here at home and around the world, our vital work is
made possible by you.
For the American Red Cross, the season of giving is year
around. Your gift of your time, talent
and treasure throughout the year makes a difference in the lives of
others. You may see these gifts in
action through our reports, statistics and photos. The volunteers who meet with our clients daily
get to look into the eyes of those you are helping and see the difference it
makes in that individual’s life.
Thank you for your gifts that make our mission possible!
