Mission of the American Red Cross

The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization, led by volunteers, that provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. It does this through services that are consistent with its Congressional Charter and the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross movement.

The Triangle Area Chapter of the American Red Cross helped more than 357 families recover from local disasters in 2010.

We provided more than 10,836 nights of shelter locally to those whose homes or apartments were made unlivable due to fires in 2010.
