Guest blogger Erin talks about her family’s fire drill for Fire Prevention Month.
Approximately every 80 seconds someone will lose their home to a fire. That’s more than 63,000 fires a year that Red Cross volunteers across the country will respond to.
Blog post from American Red Cross President and CEO Gail McGovern.
Welcome to the Worldwide Wednesday Wrap-Up, in which we consolidate the international Red Cross and Red Crescent news into one list of bite-sized links for you.
Libya, Hometown Heroes, Red Cross on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, and more.
Wounded Warrior Project, dogs swimming, TEDxRC2, zombie fitness, and more.
I’m curious – what led you to the Red Cross? What inspired you to become a part of the organization the first time around? What inspired you to return to the organization after time away?
