American Red Cross - Sierra-Delta Chapter

The American Red Cross seeks to prevent and alleviate human suffering during emergencies by mobilizing volunteers and encouraging the generosity of donors. Supported by a strong network of volunteers, donors, and partners, the American Red Cross is always there in times of need. Our mission is to turn compassion into action, ensuring that... ...people affected by disasters receive care, shelter, and hope wherever they may be; ...our communities are ready and resilient in the face of disasters; ...everyone across 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.
