March is Red Cross Month

The American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters at home and abroad, collects and distributes nearly half of the nation's blood supply, teaches lifesaving skills, and supports military members and their families. The American Red Cross, a charity and not a government agency, depends on voluntary contributions of time, money and blood to perform its humanitarian mission.

During Red Cross Month the Red Cross is asking people to give a gift that can really save the day when the next disaster strikes, when a neighbor's house burns down, when a military family experiences a crisis, or when a child needs a hug and a blanket.
