American Red Cross

One Red Cross We are one Red Cross. Those who serve the Red Cross share one mission statement and follow a common vision and Fundamental Principles. Volunteers and employees work together as one Red Cross family, in partnership with other organizations, and always embrace diversity and inclusiveness. The Red Cross does more than shelter, feed, and provide emotional support to disaster clients. The Red Cross also collects and distributes lifesaving blood products, teaches skills that save lives, provides international humanitarian aid, and supports military members and their families. The entire workforce brings together diverse backgrounds and skills, united by a shared passion for the mission—to prevent and alleviate suffering in the face of emergencies. By leveraging the resources and passion of the entire enterprise, the organization and its partners create greater efficiencies, increase collaboration, and become better stewards of donor dollars.

The Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
