American Red Cross

The American Red Cross Military and Veteran Caregiver Network provides caregivers with a variety of resources and support. 

Kerrville VA received a golf cart from the American Red Cross, making it easier and safer for Veterans to travel around the campus.

The American Red Cross has seen a shortfall of about 25,000 blood donations in the first two months of the summer, which makes it hard to keep hospital shelves stocked with lifesaving blood products. By making an appointment to give blood or platelets in August, donors can keep the national blood supply from falling to shortage levels. 

Until Help Arrives is a free course offered by the American Red Cross to teach people lifesaving skills during an emergency.

During Sickle Cell Awareness Month in September, the American Red Cross emphasizes the importance of a diverse blood supply to help meet the needs of those with sickle cell disease – the most common inherited blood disorder in the U.S.

There is an emergency blood supply shortage in America. The employees at Dorn VA did their part for the 14th time since March 2020.

While there has been a significant and encouraging response to the dire need for blood across the nation, the American Red Cross needs more people to give in the weeks ahead to recover from its worst blood shortage in more than a decade.

The American Red Cross is facing a national blood crisis – its worst blood shortage in more than a decade. Here's how to help.

Veterans, families and caregivers can help with lowest blood supply in more than a decade at this time of year and receive a gift card.

Veterans and families who want to help the nation's critical blood shortage can also receive a $10 Amazon gift card in the process by donating.

Across the nation, people are helping to support the resettlement of Afghanistan refugees and allies by sharing information on how to help, opening their homes, donating goods and services, and bringing greater awareness and advocacy for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs).

The American Red Cross continues to experience a severe blood shortage that is negatively affecting blood product availability across the country. Donors of all blood types – especially type O and those giving platelets – are urged to make an appointment to give now and help ensure hospital shelves are stocked with blood products over the Fourth of July holiday and beyond.
