As the coronavirus pandemic wears on, families are coping with one of the busiest disaster years — which includes back-to-back hurricanes and record-breaking wildfires. Altogether, these and other extreme weather events total the greatest number of billion-dollar disasters to strike our country in a single year.

Families are overwhelmed. Yet through it all, more people are stepping up to help those in need. It’s a true testament to the humanitarian spirit of people across North Texas and our country.

Representing more than 90% of our workforce, volunteers are the backbone of our lifesaving mission. This year, these volunteers filled mission-critical positions, such as shelter and health workers addressing urgent disaster needs, as well as blood donor ambassadors and transportation specialists helping to provide cancer patients, trauma victims and others with lifesaving blood.

People are also helping to save lives. When tens of thousands of blood drives were canceled as the pandemic forced schools and businesses to close, people rolled up their sleeves — more than a half-million of them giving for the first time!

The American Red Cross is powered by the dedicated volunteers and the generosity of our donors. To help meet critical needs, individuals, foundations, corporations and more stepped-up to help meet the financial needs of fulfilling the Red Cross mission to prevent and alleviate human suffering. Through these generous contributions, the American Red Cross is able to continue providing comfort, care and hope to people when they need it most.
