March is Red Cross Month
The perfect time to sign up and save a life.
Every year, the Canadian Red Cross observes Red Cross month in March to honour the efforts undertaken by the Red Cross organization as a whole. The Canadian Red Cross is one of 190 National Societies, yet its unique impact can be felt in a variety of ways, both locally and internationally for some of the amazing work they’ve done.
From 2011 to 2012, the Canadian Red Cross assisted 46,719 people in Canada affected by disasters and more than 100,000 hours were devoted by volunteers to help those in need after disasters. From providing access to food, water, shelter and clothing to offering a range of services that enhance the skills and knowledge of individuals affected by adversity, Canadian Red Cross programs give people assistance when they need it most.
