Down the street. Across the country. Around the world. Every day, the American Red Cross of Greater Grand Rapids turns compassion into action, assisting more than 61,000 people in our community each year.
March is Red Cross Month and your local American Red Cross chapter would like to say "thank you" to all our supporters in the community. Whether you've donated, been trained, given blood or worked as a volunteer, your contribution is what keeps the Red Cross going.
The American Red Cross invites you to get involved this March and see how you can change a life, starting with your own.
