Your Impact

A short thank you video highlighting some of the impact that generous donor support has had, both in Canada and around the world.

The continued support of monthly donors makes it possible for the Canadian Red Cross to deploy aid workers to the ground and reach people with emergency food, water, shelter and medical care following disasters big and small.

With each monthly gift, we strengthen communities through disaster preparedness.

Monthly donations provide:

• Food, water, shelter and medical care for people impacted by disaster.
• Emergency relief like clean water for people living in war and conflict zones.
• Life-saving child treatments and education programs to mothers and families.
