In 1881, Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross, joining forces with a global movement to help those injured on the battlefield. This March, we celebrate #RedCrossMonth, to honor our history and celebrate the everyday heroes that carry out our humanitarian mission. | American Red Cross

Every 8 minutes, the Red Cross responds to a disaster, providing critical support to those affected. Last year, we provided over 650,000 shelter stays and 8 million meals. Donate today to be part of this vital work. | American Red Cross
