MISSION STATEMENTThe American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. Through critical programs including immediate assistance to families impacted by disasters like fires and floods; lifesaving skills training including CPR and first aid; and support of our service members, military families and Veterans; the Inland Northwest Chapter of the American Red Cross directly serves over 15,000 people in our community every year. The Red Cross is a charitable organization – not a government agency – and we rely on the support of our community to fulfill our mission. An average of 91 cents of every donated dollar is invested directly into our humanitarian programs.WHAT CAN YOUR DONATIONS DO?$50 Provides two military children with a life-sized photo of a deployed parent. $75 Helps one family send an emergency message to a soldier overseas. $100 Provides blankets and snacks to ten victims of an apartment complex fire. $150 Provides three nights in a hotel for a family of four who lost their home in a fire. |
