Celebrate the Legacy of Clara Barton

March is Red Cross Month, and we’re honoring people who deliver comfort and care to those in need, while celebrating Clara Barton.

Clara Barton was a fearless humanitarian and a woman of many firsts. She established the first free public school in New Jersey, was one of the first women to gain employment in the federal government and was the founder of the American Red Cross.

Her lifelong dedication to helping others has inspired countless people worldwide, and each day we are grateful to be a part of the generous community she began building more than 140 years ago.

In honor of her legacy, we’re reaching out with a special invitation: Join the Clara Barton Society now by making a qualifying gift of $100 monthly. When you do, you’ll receive exclusive access to Red Cross updates and help fuel our mission for years to come.
