Who We Are

The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.

What We Do

The American Red Cross Central & Southern Ohio Region serves nearly six million people in 47 counties in Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana from Darke to Guernsey counties, to Richland and Adams counties. Our region includes the major cities of Cincinnati, Columbus, and Dayton. We shelter, feed, provide health and mental health services and emotional support to victims of disaster. We provide disaster preparedness training and information for children and adults. We supply about 40 percent of the nation’s blood supply, teach lifesaving skills, and support our veterans, military members and their families. Approximately 90 percent of our workforce is volunteers.
