Contribute to your Red Cross
The Red Cross needs your support today and tomorrow.
Your support is critical to help families in need. Each year, the Red Cross touches the lives of 1 in 3 people Livingston County. Providing 97% of blood and blood products needed by Livingston County hospitals -- delivering emergency services to hundreds of victims of local disasters; training 25,000 local residents in lifesaving skills; delivering hundreds of emergency messages for local families with loved ones in the armed forces. The Livingston County Red Cross is not a government agency. We are not funded by the national Red Cross and only a small portion of our funding comes from the United Way. In fact, we help support national disaster relief. We need your support. Annual support from individuals and corporations is our largest source of funding.
