This year's disasters have been relentless: During the first 50 days of 2025, Red Cross volunteers responded to more big disasters in the U.
S. than days. Now, they're on the ground helping after this month's massive cross-country storm outbreak.
And that's on top of everyday crises like home fires — which are so prevalent that, in a typical week, the Red Cross distributes a total of $1 million in emergency financial assistance for affected families. To add to these needs, more Red Cross blood donations have gone uncollected so far this year due to weather than throughout all of 2024. "In the face of crisis, we see humanity at its finest when people rally together to provide care and hope.
Whether or not an emergency makes headlines, these supporters are community heroes to the families who rely on their generosity when help can't wait," said Anne McKeough , chief development officer of the Red Cross. "On March 26 , join us during Red Cross Giving Day to reignite this compassionate spirit for those confronting crises large and small, seen and unseen." Visit redcross.
