Costly disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes make the news, but most emergencies don't. A house fire or a loved one needing CPR may not be newsworthy, but they're a tragedy for those involved. In every single case, it is the mission of the American Red Cross to be there and help those in need — whether disaster strikes thousands of people at once or one family in the middle of the night. With the generous support of our community we can continue to bring lifesaving programs and services to individuals and families living in our community. Make a financial gift today!
