American Red Cross Giving Day

On American Red Cross Giving Day, which takes place during American Red Cross Month, financial gifts are given to provide food, shelter, relief items, emotional support, and other assistance for those who have experienced disasters, to help them recover. Money given is tax-deductible and supports relief from disasters big and small, such as house fires.

The American Red Cross was founded by Clara Barton in 1881 and received its first congressional charter in 1900. It provides disaster relief in the United States and around the world, offers health and safety training, and organizes a nationwide civilian blood program. On American Red Cross Giving Day, donations are made to the American Red Cross to help it continue its work of assisting those who have been befallen by a disaster.
