American Red Cross of the Bay Area

The American Red Cross works to prevent and ease human suffering during emergencies by activating volunteers and encouraging donor generosity. With a vast network of volunteers, donors, and partners, the American Red Cross is always there during crises. Our mission is to turn compassion into action, making sure that... ...those impacted by disasters receive care, shelter, and hope wherever they are; ...our communities are well-prepared and resilient in the face of disasters; ...everyone in the nation has access to safe, lifesaving blood and blood products; ...service members and their families receive the support and comfort they need; and ...in emergencies, trained individuals are ready to apply 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.
