The American Red Cross is in communities nationwide, providing federal workers and their families with the ability to prepare for, and respond to emergencies large and small.
Whether it’s helping people respond to disasters, providing safe blood for patients in need, training people in critical lifesaving skills that allow them to act in emergencies, or providing people with the ability to reach out with emergency communication to military personnel in urgent situations, the Red Cross empowers people to perform extraordinary acts in the face of emergencies.
The Red Cross has a long, celebrated partnership with federal agencies. We work side-by-side with the Department of Homeland Security to provide people with the help they need following disaster. We give donors the ability to show they care by providing convenient blood donation opportunities at blood drives. We provide Red Cross Health and Safety training to employees of government agencies, such as the Federal Aviation Administration, giving them the lifesaving skills they need to use if called upon.
While we work hand in hand with our government partners, the Red Cross is not a government agency – we rely on the compassion, generosity and trust of people like you to give us the ability to do these extraordinary things in your community.
You can elect to support the Southern Maryland Chapter American Red Cross (#10266) with your financial gift to the Combined Federal Campaign. Or, you may contact the local Red Cross chapter to make a donation locally. Either way, your donation will help make an impact in many lives.
