The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
American Red Cross of Central Texas serves residents in 9 counties, teaching lifesaving skills, assisting military families and helping families get back on their feet after a house fire turns their lives upside down. (Did you know that the American Red Cross of Central Texas has volunteer Disaster Action Teams that respond to a hour fire an average of every 48 hours?) We also help families and communities prepare for unexpected emergencies. We reunite families torn apart by war. We train people in first aid so that they can give the gift of life to others. We travel throughout the country to help those whose lives are threatened by fire, flood and other natural disasters.
