Last year we held our first-ever Red Cross Giving Day, and thanks to supporters like you, we helped provide comfort and relief to thousands after an emergency. Are you ready to do it again in an even bigger way this year?

If we each pledge to #help1family, just imagine what we can accomplish together. Nearly every 8 minutes, we meet a family that’s lost everything to a home fire, storm or other disaster. It’s only because of supporters like you that we can be there with hope and urgent relief, like food, shelter and other essentials to people who need it most.

Giving Day is only a month away, and right now there are two things you can do to get involved!

(1) Save the Date: Mark April 21 on your calendar and tell your friends and family to do the same!

(2) Watch and share this video about what to expect this Giving Day. When you share the video, you are taking action to make sure even more people will join together to make an impact on April 21.

Remember to keep using the hashtag #help1family on Facebook and Twitter all month leading up to Giving Day to help get the word out.
