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.The Red Cross provides roughly 40% of the nation’s blood supply. With someone needing blood every 2 seconds. Each day, the Red Cross needs to collect about 12,500 blood donations to meet the needs of patients at about 2,500 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. Every day, more than 24,000 people receive assistance from the American Red Cross — that’s about 1,000 people helped every hour of the day.
