American Red Cross of Hawaii
MISSION
To prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
KEY SERVICES PROVIDED
The Hawaii Red Cross is on-call 24/7, 365 days a year and responds to disasters every four days, helping people recover from devastating house fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. State and County government rely on the Red Cross for shelter, food, relief items, health services, counseling, family reunification, and individual casework assistance. The Red Cross also supports military families during times of crisis and teaches lifesaving skills to 20,000 Hawaii residents each year. Volunteers cover everything from teaching school children how to prepare for and cope with emergencies through the Pillowcase Project to installing free smoke alarms helping local residents how to prevent and escape from home fires.
