About the American Red Cross

Liberty Tax Service is a National Sponsor of The American Red Cross. This organization shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches lifesaving skills; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families.

The Red Cross is a charitable organization — not a government agency — and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission. According to the website, http://blog.redcross.org, the American Red Cross reacted immediately to assist the Japanese Red Cross as they reached out to the 5 million households without electricity, and another million persons without water. Online donations are accepted at http://american.redcross.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ntld_main&s_src=F8HWA002
