American Red Cross - New Hampshire Chapter

Your support brings help and hope to families in times of need.

The New Hampshire Chapter of the American Red Cross serves people across the entire Granite State. With more than 950 active volunteers who log 82,000 hours of service each year, and a small group of dedicated employees, we provide relief in the wake of disaster, life-saving blood, support to military members, and training that saves lives. Last year, we responded to over 250 disaster cases in New Hampshire, and provided comfort, care, and direct financial assistance to 625 residents. We installed over 1,000 free smoke alarms to make residents' homes safer and provided free fire safety and emergency preparedness workshops for 3,000 children.  Generous blood donors helped us collect more than 61,000 units of blood to help save lives across New Hampshire and beyond.

Support from donors like you is what makes our work possible.

Although the Red Cross is congressionally chartered to respond to disasters, less than 2% of our annual operating budget comes from federal sources. We rely on the generosity of our donors and volunteers to fulfill our mission. We continue to experience an alarming increase in the frequency and severity of disasters in New Hampshire, New England and across the country. Whether it is a flood, home fire, hurricane or wildfire, The Red Cross is there to help survivors meet their immediate needs with food, shelter, mental health support, and financial assistance. All disaster services are completely free of charge. 

Thank you for making a gift to The Red Cross today to help us provide support where it is needed most. 

Who We Are

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. Our humanitarian mission connects us to people and communities across the state, throughout the nation and around the world. The common bonds of humanity and compassion unite us together, not just in the face of emergencies and disasters, but in helping our neighbors every day.

The American Red Cross, through its volunteers, donors, and partners, is always there in times of need, turning compassion into action so that all people affected by disaster receive care, shelter and hope; our communities are prepared for disasters; everyone has access to safe, lifesaving blood and blood products; all armed services members and their families find support and comfort when needed; and there are always trained individuals nearby, ready to use their Red Cross skills to save lives.
