Red Cross Helps All People

Red cross and red uppercase text curved below the cross on a white background

The American Red Cross was founded by Clara Barton and a group of her acquaintances in Washington, D.C. in 1881. It is dedicated to helping people in need throughout the United States and, in association with other Red Cross networks, throughout the world. The organization accepts contributions of time, blood, and money to support lifesaving services and programs.

The "Helps All People" slogan is central to the core values of the Red Cross to help all people across the world, without bias.
