For over half of our country’s 250-year history, communities have cared for each other through the American Red Cross. During our Red Cross Month celebration in March, we honor how people today deliver support when help can’t wait.
Red Cross Month began during World War II, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt called on individuals to address growing humanitarian needs. What started as a national call to action has become a community tradition — reaffirming the power of compassion and the impact we can make together.
