American Red Cross Serving Central Texas
Our Cause
The American Red Cross Central and South Texas Region serves 83 counties, home to more than 9.4 million people. For more than 100 years, volunteers in every corner of the region have provided hope and comfort to their neighbors in crisis. We convene the community to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies large and small.
Our services include disaster relief and preparedness; lifesaving CPR and first aid training; international family tracing; and support for military, veterans and their families. Headquartered in Austin, we have locations in Bryan, Del Rio, El Paso, Kerrville, Laredo, Midland, San Antonio, and Waco—with volunteers located in every county in between, just a phone call away.
The American Red Cross belongs to the American people, and our strength depends on the support we receive from you. We invite you to join us. We need your time, talent and treasure to perform our very important work.
