American Red Cross of Southwest Michigan

To build a more resilient Michigan

The Michigan Red Cross plays a key role during crisis situations, by providing a network of services, including: community preparedness, disaster response and family recovery. The Red Cross engages in daily efforts to assist families in creating disaster plans and provide relief to families who suffered a house fire or other disaster.

Every single day, the Michigan Red Cross helps people in emergencies. Whether it’s one displaced family, thousands of disaster victims, or providing care and comfort to an ill or injured service member or veteran or support to a military family member, our vital work is made possible by people like you. It is through the time and care of ordinary people that we can do extraordinary things.

The Michigan Red Cross is always looking for people with various backgrounds, talents and skill levels. Our needs are often specific based on current events and levels of ground support, but we’ll do our best to accommodate your desire to get involved!

The Southwest Michigan Chapter is always there in times of need. We aspire to turn compassion into action so that all people affected by disaster across the chapter receive care, shelter and hope; our communities have access to safe, lifesaving blood and blood products; all members of our armed services and their families find support and comfort wherever needed; and in an emergency, there are always trained individuals nearby, ready to use their Red Cross skills to save lives.
