1-800-RED-CROSS

Now there is one phone number that the public can use for all Red Cross services, whether they want to give blood, donate money or get help. This number is easy to remember and leads the caller through a simple phone tree. Note: Even with this new phone number, 1-800-GIVE-LIFE is still being used for blood donations and 1-866-GET-INFO will still be used during large-scale disasters.
