Home Fire Campaign – Sound the Alarm, Save a Life
|
Every day, seven people die in U.S. home fires, most in homes that lack working smoke alarms, with children and the elderly disproportionately killed. With the help of your employees, we can reach vulnerable communities across LA County. Volunteers go door-to-door meeting with families to complete a home safety checklist, help them develop a disaster plan and install free smoke alarms.

Kit builds are fun and engaging events designed to help deepen your employees’ understanding of the Red Cross and its mission. Your company will have the opportunity to choose between a Preparedness Kit Build (disaster emergency kit) and a Comfort Kit Build (donated to service members and veterans in need).

Pillowcase Project

The Pillowcase Project is our signature youth preparedness program implemented throughout every Red Cross region. The Pillowcase Project teaches children in grades 3 through 5 (ages 8 to 11) coping skills for life-saving personal and family preparedness.

Safety Training
|
When a loved one’s heart stops or a child is pulled from the water and no longer breathing, a Red Cross-trained family member or bystander can be the difference between life and death. Lifesaving training— successfully provided by the American Red Cross for more than a century—is what makes communities safer and more resilient to all kinds of emergencies.
