Last year, the Red Cross responded to more than 75,000 disasters —
93 percent of them fire related.
The challenges that face the American Red Cross of
Massachusetts Bay in the New Year are enormous. The demand for our services continues to grow at a fierce pace, often more rapidly than incoming donations. But we are committed to providing disaster assistance 24/7, free of charge.
Show your support at the start of this new year by making an online donation now. Your partnership is especially appreciated because the Red Cross is a charity, not a government agency. It’s support from caring people like you that makes our vital services to the community possible.
Please … take a moment to make your secure online donation now. Thank you.
The American Red Cross continues to meet charity accountability standards
established by the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance.
