We respond to a disaster every eight minutes⏲️ in the U.S. — the majority of which are home fires.

We teach life-saving skills, provide resources for military families, and help international families in crisis. We also support our Southern Blood Services region in their efforts to ensure a safe and ready blood supply in Georgia. How do we empower so many of our neighbors to respond to emergencies? By mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. We can't turn heartbreak into hope without your help! Our Impact In the past year, the American Red Cross in the Georgia Region has been able to make a difference in our local community because of the generosity of our donors and the support of our volunteers.

During Hurricane Helene in September 2024, a neighbor’s tree crashed into Corey and Shelita Johnson’s bedroom. It tore a hole in their roof and upended their lives.
