Someone got to go home to their family today because a stranger scheduled an appointment to give blood.
You can be the reason someone else gets to go home too. Make your appointment at redcrossblood.org.

Some of our best communications team members aren't employees.
They're retired teachers, journalists, marketers, photographers, writers and storytellers who volunteer a few hours each week to help share the Red Cross mission.
Interested? Join us! Redcross.org

Don't wait until you get thirsty

If the grill is part of your Memorial Day weekend plans, keep it outside, keep it away from anything that can burn and keep an eye on it once it's lit.
Most grill fires start with something simple getting missed.

We tried starting an emergency kit without spending too much. Turns out, you can get pretty far with a short shopping trip and a little planning.
Start with what you can, then build from there.

The yard always looks less hot from inside the house.
Take water with you before you head outside.
