American Red Cross - Kern County & Eastern Sierra

The American Red Cross prevents and eases human suffering during emergencies by rallying volunteers and donors. Supported by a strong network of volunteers, donors, and partners, the American Red Cross is always available in times of need. Our mission is to turn compassion into action, making sure that... ...people affected by disasters receive care, shelter, and hope wherever they are; ...our communities are ready and equipped to face disasters; ...everyone across the nation has access to safe, lifesaving blood and blood products; ...members of the armed services and their families receive the support and comfort they require; 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.
