Red Cross of Alabama

Alabama’s hub for all things Red Cross ⛑. Volunteer, donate blood, give or prepare for emergencies.

We’ll never know everything our veterans were asked to do or everything their service asked of them.

But Veterans Day gives us a chance to show them how much that service means to us. ❤️

When you're caring for someone you love, it's easy to forget that you need support too.

Our Military and Veteran Caregiver Network connects those caring for service members and veterans with people who understand what they're going through.

Every second counts when someone’s life is on the line.

By learning CPR or first aid, you’re giving yourself the power to act when it matters most. This holiday season, bring a friend and sign up for one of our training classes.

Leaving military service doesn’t mean leaving every part of military life behind.

The Military 2 Veteran Network gives current & former service members a place to share experiences and find resources for life during and after military service.

A donor rolls up their sleeve and gives blood. But have you ever thought about what happens after they leave?

Volunteer Blood Transportation Specialists help carry that donation forward by getting blood products to local hospitals.

We care about your well-being: Get a free health screening when you give blood!

We check blood pressure, hemoglobin & pulse. For successful November donations, we’ll perform A1C testing (diabetes/prediabetes screen; 1 test result in 2026).

For you, it might be a regular Saturday night. For the little ghosts, goblins, princesses and superheroes running around your neighborhood, it's anything but. 👻

If you're heading out tonight, take it slow and keep an extra eye out for trick-or-treaters!

A bunch of tiny monsters, princesses and superheroes will soon be showing up at your front door demanding candy. 🍬

Better make sure the porch is ready for them!

That extra hour of sleep won’t help much if you spend it walking around the house trying to figure out which smoke alarm is chirping.

Before the clocks fall back this weekend, test every alarm and replace any that are 10 years old or older.

[Red Cross of Alabama @RedCrossAL]

A great Halloween costume can get plenty of attention at the front door and still be hard for drivers to see down the street.

Add something bright or reflective before your trick-or-treater heads out Saturday night.

Most of us can handle a scraped knee without much trouble. But if someone suddenly collapsed, we’d have a lot more questions and be quite a bit more panicked.

That’s a tough moment to start looking for answers. The free Red Cross First Aid app puts guidance right on your phone.

Before Alabama State and Alabama A&M meet on the field, they’re competing in the donor chair. 🐝🐾

Give blood for your side Oct. 26 or 27 and get a ticket to the Magic City Classic.
