American Red Cross serving Southeast Louisiana
About this Organization
Generous donations of time, talent and treasure allow the American Red Cross to help Southeast Louisiana families prepare for, respond to and recover from everyday emergencies.
In 2024, thanks to the support of local donors and volunteers, the Red Cross:
- Helped over 1,800 Southeast Louisianans overcome everyday disasters like home fires or severe storms.
- Installed 827 free smoke alarms in Greater New Orleans to mitigate the risk of injury and death from home fires.
- Reconnected more than 200 local military heroes with their families during crises.
- Gave lifesaving CPR and water safety training to more than 11,500 of our neighbors.
- Managed or supported 28 emergency shelters for Hurricane Francine, providing 982 overnight shelter stays; served more than 20,000 meals and provided casework for 300 Southeast Louisianans.
The Red Cross also supports our community during Mardi Gras. Volunteers served 2,300 nourishing sandwiches to first responders and behind-the-scenes workers who keep Carnival safe and running smoothly. Red Crossers also worked shifts at first aid stations along the parade route, supporting the City of New Orleans initiative to reduce stress on EMS.
Thank you!
