About

American Red Cross of  Illinois

With the help of more than 4,000 passionate, dedicated volunteers just like you, the American Red Cross of Illinois serves more than 12.4 million people in 88 counties in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri through a network of 6 chapters.

 The Red Cross is where people mobilize to help our neighbors—across the street, across the country, and across the world—in emergencies. 

Our Mission

As reflected in the Red Cross mission, the Illinois Region seeks to help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to natural and human-caused disasters through the immediate mobilization of people and resources and the provision of community, workplace, and school-based training.

Beyond disaster relief, the Region delivers Community Disaster Education, First Aid/CPR, HIV/AIDS prevention, and other types of life-saving health and safety training to thousands of people across our region to help people prevent, prepare, and respond to emergencies.
