American Red Cross - Santa Barbara Office

The American Red Cross aims to prevent and alleviate human suffering during emergencies by mobilizing volunteers and encouraging donor generosity. Through a vast network of volunteers, donors, and partners, the American Red Cross is always there in times of crisis. We work to turn compassion into action, ensuring that... ...those affected by disasters receive care, shelter, and hope wherever they may be; ...our communities are well-prepared and resilient against disasters; ...everyone in the nation has access to safe, lifesaving blood and blood products; ...members of the armed services and their families find the support and comfort they need; and ...in emergencies, trained individuals are ready to use their Red Cross skills to save lives. Volunteers carry out 90% of the humanitarian work of the Red Cross. Whether helping one displaced family or thousands, providing care and comfort to an ill or injured service member or veteran, or teaching others how to respond in emergencies, it’s through the efforts of ordinary people that we can do extraordinary things.
