A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Superstorms. Fires. Bombs.

Disasters, both natural and man-made, tested our region this year as never before. Through days and weeks

of uncertainty and fear, the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts delivered on its mission to serve

our communities and alleviate suffering, thanks to one hard-earned pledge:

WE STAND, STRONG AND READY.

While we could never predict the impact of the

February 2013 blizzard or the outcome of the tragic

Boston Marathon bombings, our promise is to be

prepared: more shelters, greater access to our food

pantries, thousands more volunteers trained to provide

relief when it is needed most, and the latest mobile

applications to make lifesaving information available

at your fingertips.

Because so many lives depend on our ability to respond

immediately in times of need, here at the Red Cross we

are constantly evolving, upgrading and improving our

ability to meet those needs. In 2013 alone, we recruited and trained more than 2,000 additional volunteers in the

181 communities of Eastern Massachusetts. As a result, our Disaster Services were able to respond to 15 percent

more incidents and provide 31 percent more financial assistance to families over last year. We were ready.

At the same time, we added volunteer caseworkers to our Service to Armed Forces department to support

our military and their families during and after deployments. We reinvigorated our International Services

department, training new volunteers and adding classes to teach International Humanitarian Law to the public.

We were ready.

In November 2013 the Eastern Massachusetts Region and Central and Western Massachusetts Region

began the process of unifying into a single, statewide Red Cross. Beginning with the consolidation of our

largest departments, Disaster Services and Volunteer Services, the American Red Cross of Massachusetts

has begun to take shape. Aligning with other statewide entities including the Massachusetts Emergency

Management Agency, the State of Massachusetts Animal Rescue Team, Volunteer Organizations Active in

Disaster and Mass 2-1-1, by July 1, 2014, we will be an even stronger, more united Red Cross.

As I transition into a new leadership role at the Red Cross, be assured that the strong leadership and blueprint

for the future of the American Red Cross of Massachusetts will continue to mobilize the power of volunteers

and the generosity of donors to stand ready for whatever the future brings.

Jarrett T. Barrios

CEO, American Red Cross of Massachusetts

Jarrett T. Barrios spoke with a CNN en Espanol reporter during the Boston Marathon bombing response.

DISASTER SERVICES

Superstorm Sandy ResponseIt was late October 2012 when Hurricane Sandy, already

deadly in the Caribbean, took a westward turn and merged

with a weather pattern in the Atlantic Ocean. While the

storm’s greatest wrath was borne by New York and New

Jersey, the 1,000-mile-wide superstorm did not leave

Massachusetts unscathed.

The American Red Cross

of Eastern Massachusetts

activated the Disaster

Operations Center

in Cambridge, where

volunteers and staff

quickly began organizing

to respond. In Boston,

New Bedford and Cape

Ann our disaster teams

were prepared, and eight volunteer-run shelters were

opened in the region in anticipation of the storm’s landfall.

When Sandy turned the brunt of her force landward to our

south, Red Cross volunteers came forward in force, to help

those most impacted get through some of the toughest

times of their lives.

Parts of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode

Island sustained significant damage, and Red Cross

volunteers deployed to operate shelters, feed residents

who had been without power for weeks, and move supplies

from one devastated area to another. Within weeks, 60

deployments were made from the Red Cross Cambridge

headquarters to Staten Island, NY; New Jersey and beyond,

as volunteers from throughout the Commonwealth left their

families behind for weeks at a time to roll up their sleeves

and help. CEO Jarrett Barrios deployed to support shelter

operations in hard-hit areas of western Long Island. Many,

like volunteer Lisa Contee of Medford, deployed more than

once. Contee drove an emergency response vehicle based

in Boston to New York to help feed people in affected

neighborhoods. Nationally, the Red Cross sent more than

300 emergency response vehicles to support relief and

recovery efforts.

Locally, The TJX Companies, National Grid and State Street,

corporate members of the Annual Disaster Giving Program,

had already contributed to enable the Red Cross to respond

immediately to the needs of individuals and families impacted

by disaster anywhere in the United States, regardless of

cost. With these funds the Red Cross was able to provide

immediate shelter and food, blankets and relief supplies that

were often delivered door-to-door.

The American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts is

grateful to all of the organizations, individuals, members of

the news media, and community leaders whose generosity

continues to guide people who are working to put their lives

back together in the wake of Superstorm Sandy. For a list of

Disaster Donors, please see pages 20 and 24.

The numbers are staggering: 17,000 Red Cross

disaster workers—90 percent of them volunteers—

distributed 7 million relief items and more than

17 million meals, provided nearly 113,000 health

services and emotional support contacts for people

living in extremely tough conditions, and offered

more than 81,000 shelter stays.

DISASTER SERVICES

The Blizzard of 2013The fury of Winter Storm Nemo, or the Blizzard of 2013,

caught many residents of Eastern Massachusetts by surprise.

By the evening of February 9, Sharese Perry had been

trapped in her Wareham home without power for a day and

a half. Her children were wrapped in blankets, their breath

visible as it came out of their mouths. Perry was in despair.

With her cell phone battery dying, she called the police and

was first evacuated to a crowded warming center, where she

spent several hours on mats with her children. Early Sunday

morning, she made her way to the Red Cross shelter at

Durfee High School in Fall River.

“Since we got here they’ve been so nice to us and the kids,”

she said. “They gave us food as soon as we came in last

night at 1 [a.m.], so many pizzas, juice, chips, blankets,

beds.” Talking about being able to put her children on Red

Cross cots and not on the floor brought tears to her eyes.

The blizzard was a challenge for the Red Cross because it

hit hard in the areas already pounded by the upper reaches

of Superstorm Sandy. Volunteers themselves had to dig

their way out of three feet of snow before rushing out to

help others. At the height of the storm, when a state of

emergency was called by Massachusetts Governor Deval

Patrick, a fire broke out in a Wilmington apartment building.

With a foot of snow already piled on some roads, casework

was conducted remotely, and those affected were brought by

fire truck to an emergency shelter—in this case a hotel with

warm meals.

Eventually, 14 shelters were opened across the South Shore

and Cape Cod for those forced out of their homes by power

outages. Red Cross volunteers provided 1,918 shelter stays

and more than 30,000 meals and snacks to people affected by

the storm.

As the power returned, Red Cross teams targeted the

worst-hit neighborhoods. In Scituate, where tidal surges had

punched four-foot-wide holes in the sides of some homes,

cleanup equipment was distributed by Red Cross volunteers.

Each team brought a Disaster Mental Health volunteer to

check in on residents during their recovery efforts.

As the disaster response began to wrap up in Eastern

Massachusetts, the Red Cross heard from another affected

community: the Wampanoag tribe of Mashpee. The tribe

had been without power for about a week, and hundreds of

residents lost all of their food supplies. Disaster Services

partnered with the Red Cross Food Pantry to prepare boxes

of groceries for tribe members.

“ The Red Cross has been great —wonderful.

We’re so blessed to have you guys helping us. ” — SHARESE PERRY, WAREHAM RESIDENT

“ Those food packages not only filled our tribal

members’ stomachs, but more importantly their

hearts. Honestly, from the tears of compassion

of those receiving them, to the smiles of our

volunteers distributing them, this was truly

a wonderful experience.” — ROBBIE HENDRICKS AND BRENDA RICHERSON

Boston Marathon BombingBoston was forever changed on April 15, 2013, when tragedy

forged an already resilient community into an even stronger

one. Yet again in the face of an historic disaster that no one

could have predicted, the American Red Cross was proud

to be ready, and proud to serve.

As with all major public events, Red Cross preparation

for the 117th B.A.A. Boston Marathon® ran deep. The

organization was well represented along the 26.2-mile

stretch between Hopkinton and Boston that day, with

400 volunteers stationed at 26 First Aid tents, and 38

Team Red Cross runners on the course.*

The Disaster Operations Center (DOC) was open at

our headquarters in Cambridge, and staff stood ready

in the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency

bunker. Many more Red Cross disaster volunteers were on

standby. Public affairs was on call and disaster staff were

in the office when the first call came in: “An explosion.

Casualties at the finish line. We don’t know more.”

The Red Cross response was immediate, widespread and

long-lasting, encompassing the two bomb blasts at the

finish line that caused three fatalities and hundreds of

injuries, and the intensive five-day manhunt that threatened

to paralyze greater Boston. The DOC would remain open

for weeks, as Red Cross staff and hundreds of trained

volunteers mobilized and deployed across the city and

the region to deliver help—and hope.

Together with the Boston Public Health Commission, the Red

Cross organized and managed the Family Assistance Center

for more than two weeks, where families of those impacted

by the bombings could receive mental health counseling,

financial assistance, toys, handicap placards, disaster

spiritual care, and help planning next steps —all in one

location. Specially trained Red Cross Disaster Mental Health

volunteers remain in contact with these families, as well as

with officials and affected members of the public, as part of

the Continuum of Care Group convened by the Red Cross.

*For details on Team Red Cross, please see page 24.

47,000 meals and snacks would be served to people in

areas impacted by the bombings. Those in the middle

of the investigation were among those most in need.

Said one officer, “The only hot meal I had the first

week [after the bombings] was from the Red Cross.”

The Red Cross Disaster Operations Center in Cambridge was on high alert to support the Marathon bombing response.

DISASTER SERVICES

The blasts that shook Boston reverberated throughout the

region in the ensuing days, as the suspects were sought

by city, state and federal law enforcement officers. More

than 300 trained Red Cross volunteers responded by

counseling mourners in the Back Bay and at public vigils in

the Boston Public Garden and at the Cathedral of the Holy

Cross. Volunteers provided more than 3,000 relief items and

conducted 3,644 mental health contacts in the days following

April 15. Nearly 25,000 cards with Red Cross Disaster Mental

Health information were distributed to those attending

vigils, memorials and services, and 18 Red Cross trucks

offered them food and blankets.

The events of April 18 put the region on lockdown after MIT

officer Sean Collier was shot and killed two blocks from

the Cambridge headquarters of the Red Cross, allegedly

by the bombing suspects. The mayhem continued as the

suspects engaged in an early morning shootout on a quiet

street in Watertown that left one suspect dead and a second

police officer clinging to life. The Red Cross deployed

to support the Incident Command Center in Watertown,

and under Massachusetts State Police escort, volunteers

brought coffee, water and meals to the hundreds of officers

searching for the second suspect. As homes were evacuated,

the Red Cross set up reception centers for those displaced

in Watertown and Cambridge, all the while engaging directly

via social media with a frightened public now under an

unusual “shelter in place” order.

The story of the Boston Marathon bombing response cannot

be told without recognizing those who supported the Red

Cross, including the FBI, the office of Boston Mayor Thomas

M. Menino, the Boston Public Health Commission, the office

of Attorney General Martha Coakley, the Massachusetts

Office for Victim Assistance, the cities of Cambridge and

Watertown, and many others.

As with most disasters, the response will continue. The Red

Cross continues to stand with the community and continues

to work with affected families as part of the ongoing

recovery effort. In addition, the Red Cross supported the

City of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts

in the founding of The One Fund to provide direct financial

assistance to those touched by this disaster.

Thanks to generous donors, the Red Cross had an

adequate blood supply and the financial and in-kind

resources needed to support rescue operations

quickly and effectively.

Residential Fires and EmergenciesNot all disasters make international news and happen to

strangers thousands of miles away. For Shawn Faulkner, it

was a terrifying shock when disaster literally struck home.

A flight attendant working on a plane headed for New

Orleans in March, Faulkner had ignored his phone’s

incessant ringing. But when it didn’t stop, he figured it

must be important. He was right: His apartment building was

on fire, back home in Lynn.

“I high-tailed it back to Boston,” Faulkner said. “It was

actually kind of amazing—as I was on my way home, the

Red Cross called me and told me what steps I needed to

take next. It was very consoling, and there was a wealth of

information as far as any questions I had.”

The fire that tore through Faulkner’s apartment affected

residents of 25 units. While sad to lose everything,

including precious photos of his daughter, Faulkner

said the loss put things in perspective. He was grateful

for all of the help he received.

The Red Cross stands ready to help people like Faulkner

long before there is a problem. The eight staff members and

1,011 trained Disaster Services volunteers are in constant

communication with emergency services directors, fire

chiefs and media in the region, making sure they are aware

of the full cycle of disaster services the Red Cross provides

at no cost to the community.

The American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts

responded to 15 percent more emergencies in fiscal 2013

than in fiscal 2012. The outreach to communities and the

news media has created a “snowball effect,” where the more

volunteers are called to serve and the more communities are

aware of the services we provide, the more calls come into

our toll-free emergency line: 1-800-564-1234.

The result has been a 31 percent increase in the amount of

direct financial assistance to people like Shawn Faulkner,

who had only the clothes he brought with him to work when

his disaster struck. The Red Cross gave him emergency funds

for food and clothing, but stood ready to offer a hotel stay,

disaster mental health counseling and rental assistance.

“ The Red Cross was phenomenal. Everyone just

wanted to make me feel better about this tragedy.

It’s nice to know there are so many resources out

there, and so many people willing to help.” — SHAWN FAULKNER, LYNN RESIDENT

FOOD AND NUTRITION

Food Pantries 2.0Sometimes all it takes is a new volunteer’s perspective

to get a jumpstart on a solution.

Aditya Joshi is a senior software engineer and Red Cross

volunteer who found a way to use his own particular talents

to help those in need.

“I was always impressed by the work that the Red Cross

does,” Joshi said. “I wanted to help. Engineering is in my

genes, and I thought, where can I best apply my skills?”

Working with Red Cross Food and Nutrition Director

David Andre (pictured above), Joshi worked one day a

week over two months during 2013 to solve the problem

of how to more efficiently process returning food pantry

clients. How could they make the lines shorter, and eliminate

the need for visitors to wait outdoors, especially in cold and

inclement weather?

The answer for Joshi was as close as Andre’s phone.

“We wanted the ability to use something to better serve

the clients, but at the Red Cross cost is obviously a factor,”

Andre said. “So now with our smart phones, we can just use

a barcode scanner and Joshi’s app does all the work.”

Joshi took the database already in place for client records

and built a secure mobile app that could be used on Android

phones or tablets. A small software purchase allowed the

food pantry to print out QR codes unique to each client.

Within two months, Andre and the food pantry staff and

volunteers had a system to quickly check clients in and get

real-time reports on how many people were being served.

The American Red Cross food pantry in Boston serves

thousands of people with three to five days’ worth of

emergency groceries. In Fiscal 2013, 9,313 families (20,551

people) used the Boston Food Pantry for a total of 106,628

client visits, and 2,225 families (5,339 people) used the

New Bedford Food Pantry for a total of 22,454 client visits.

Both pantries had more visits than the previous year, and

the 2.5 million pounds of food distributed was up 14 percent

over fiscal 2012.

What to do with the new-found time for volunteers

and staff? Resources were put toward assisting

with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

applications. Among the services provided by the food

pantry is assistance in completing and processing SNAP

applications —known commonly as food stamps. Since the

barcode system started in the pantry on July 24, 2013, the

Boston Pantry has seen an increase of 17 percent in SNAP

applications submitted over the same period in fiscal 2012.

“ It is really nice to see technology applied for

a humanitarian cause. This is why humans are

driven to build better things. It is a good thing

to do, and I was glad to contribute. ” — ADITYA JOSHI, SOFTWARE ENGINEER

AND RED CROSS VOLUNTEER

INTERNATIONAL SERVICES

8 Eastern Massachusetts

Outreach Around the GlobeThe woman from Baghdad entered the Cambridge

headquarters of the American Red Cross wearing a muted

floral dress and a dignified headscarf. She told the staff

about her younger brother, who had been hanging out in their

older brother’s cell phone store in Iraq when he got the call.

“I’m at a checkpoint,” the friend said. “Come meet me.”

That was in 2006. Her younger brother was never seen again.

After years of fruitless searching, the woman and her

husband came to the U.S., and nine months later she found

herself at the doors of the Red Cross. She had seen the Red

Cross flyer, printed in Arabic, in her local mosque. The flyer

said that the International Committee of the Red Cross

(ICRC) might be able to provide leads for families pulled

apart by war and civil strife in the Middle East.

After some initial reservations, she eagerly gave details

of her plight. The case is now in the hands of ICRC Iraq

Tracing Unit, based in Amman, Jordan. Word may not come

for months, or even years, when a Restoring Family Links

case is activated, but the woman from Baghdad clearly

articulated what she felt for the Red Cross in words she

could confidently say in English: “Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.”

Restoring Family Links, a global program of Red Cross

disaster relief services, helps provide closure and

psychological first aid to families separated from one

another amid the chaos and confusion of war. Serving

a large immigrant population center, the International

Services Department of the American Red Cross of

Eastern Massachusetts is on call and ready to provide

support here at home when an emergency strikes abroad.

The program was restructured in 2012 to train new case

managers and expand community outreach in order to meet

the growing needs of families from Iraq, Russia, Syria,

Croatia, Vietnam, Haiti, Uzbekistan, Democratic Republic

of Congo, Ethiopia and Bosnia.

For nearly 150 years, the Red Cross has been reuniting

families and supporting global outreach programs.

International Services of the American Red Cross of

Eastern Massachusetts regularly sponsors initiatives

that can open pathways to information and greater

understanding. Celebrations are held with refugee

communities, potluck suppers where neighbors share

homemade ethnic food and their own stories, and begin

the process of restoring their identities. In addition, last

year the Red Cross was able to transport three buses of

community youths to Yom HaShoah, enabling them to hear

and witness, perhaps for the last time, accounts of the

Holocaust by survivors.

In FY 2013, Restoring Family Links cases initiated in

Eastern Massachusetts doubled from the previous

fiscal year. Of that increase, new cases in 2013

represented 30 percent of total cases, compared

to 8 percent in FY 2012.

ARMED FORCES

Service to Our Armed ForcesIn the 150 years since Massachusetts native and American

Red Cross founder Clara Barton began collecting food and

clothing for wounded Civil War soldiers, the Red Cross

has put relief items into the hands of those serving in the

United States military.

Today’s care packages are destined for the mountains of

Afghanistan, for soldiers living in VA Hospitals in Bedford

and Boston, and for homeless veterans in our communities.

And as the needs of military families change, the American

Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts is adapting its

services to our Armed Forces. Today’s Red Cross stands

ready to provide care and support through traditional and

innovative programs designed to prevent, prepare for, and

respond to the unique challenges that arise as a result of the

deployment cycle and beyond. This revitalized support for

military families has meant a renewed push for volunteers

who package and sort materials, counsel families and

answer the call when an emergency happens. Trained

volunteers with experience in government or veterans’

affairs have been key to this effort.

Howard Weitzman is a beneficiary of one such innovation.

By partnering with the Greater Boston Food Bank, Red

Cross Service to Armed Forces volunteers are providing

emergency groceries to the Boxford man at a mobile food

market supporting veterans. The mobile food market provides

emergency groceries for three to five days, information on

signing up for food stamps, and nutritional information for

those living in food deserts. On the day Weitzman was in

line in Lawrence, nearly 200 veterans received meat, snacks,

and fresh fruit and vegetables. Veterans also have access to

recreational therapy events planned by the Red Cross at the

VA, and through community service projects.

Before service personnel are deployed, the American Red

Cross educates the families of those deploying with Get

To Know Us events. Husbands and wives of the enlisted

learn how to access Red Cross support, including how

to reach those serving in combat areas with emergency

communications during a family crisis.

The Red Cross is chartered by Congress to support

soldiers with families in crisis. For those on active duty,

care packages are always welcome, whether it’s donated

Boston Strong T-shirts like those sent to the 188th Army

Engineers, snacks, or toiletries. Holiday mail events provide

a conduit for the public to send messages of support to

those serving overseas. In Eastern Massachusetts, this

event is boosted by the Red Cross Tiffany Circle, a society

of leadership women who support the mission of the

Red Cross financially and as volunteers.

For the final tribute, in 2013 the thousands who supported

Operation Flags for Vets at the Massachusetts National

Veterans Cemetery in Bourne were met by Red Cross

volunteers ready to offer coffee, information or a hug.

As the needs of military families change, the

American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts

is adapting its services to our Armed Forces by

providing care and support through traditional

and innovative programs.

YOUTH PROGRAMS

10 Eastern Massachusetts

Youth Stand ReadyA car wash. A haunted house. A bake sale. A talent show.

School projects? Yes, and more. For the young people in

Eastern Massachusetts who organize these events to

support a local Red Cross food pantry or assist families

devastated by Superstorm Sandy, they also teach leadership

and fundraising skills that will last a lifetime.

Just ask Michelle Li.

A member of the Red Cross

Youth Advisory Board,

Michelle Li helped organize

a benefit concert for Haiti

relief and took part in other

fundraising efforts when she

belonged to the Boston Latin

School Red Cross Club.

She said the experience

bolstered her public

speaking, leadership and interpersonal communication

skills—a toolset she is now using as a member of

Harvard University’s Red Cross Club.

Youth Programs at the American Red Cross of Eastern

Massachusetts are guiding today’s young women and men

into tomorrow’s leadership roles with the first-ever middle

school clubs and 13 new high school and college clubs

created in fiscal 2013. Together with 32 existing Red Cross

clubs, these new clubs are preparing hundreds more Red

Cross advocates and volunteers.

Each club is required to conduct a community service

project, hold an educational event, host a blood drive and

fundraise, as long as their school permits it. At Brookline

High School last fall, Red Cross Club members held a bake

sale and raised money to assist those residents devastated

by Superstorm Sandy. The Cape Cod Light House Charter

School Red Cross Club created a new fire safety program

that took first place in the district and state rounds of

Destination Imagination, a nationwide competition that

challenges students to find solutions for community issues.

A diverse team of 26 students from Eastern Massachusetts

served on the Red Cross Youth Advisory Board in 2013, and

went on to raise thousands of dollars in support of Red

Cross programs, while learning how to propose and support

ideas, work with each other and educate the public on

humanitarian efforts.

“I believe that these skills are not just useful for college,

but for life,” Li said.

“ These are important skills to build upon,

whether it’s for making connections or

making even greater contributions in the

future as leaders in the community.” — MICHELLE LI, RED CROSS

VOLUNTEER SERVICES

Making Volunteer Connections Every day, the American Red Cross is able to help people in

emergencies because of the generosity and compassion of

our volunteers. Whether it is aiding thousands of disaster

victims or providing comfort to a veteran and their family,

ordinary people enable us to do extraordinary things.

Thanks to new, highly efficient technology and protocols

for the intake and training of spontaneous or event-based

volunteers, Eastern Massachusetts now has the ability to

welcome a large influx of volunteer interest before or after

large-scale events. For example, nearly 400 trained volunteers

served at First Aid stations during the 2013 Boston Marathon,

and 88 certified mental health professionals were screened,

trained in Red Cross Disaster Mental Health and deployed

in a single day to comfort mourners at the MIT memorial for

Officer Sean Collier. At Red Cross food pantries, nearly 2,100

volunteers assist annually.

Volunteer Connection has made all the difference.

In May 2012, Eastern

Massachusetts was

one of 16 regions

invited to pilot

Volunteer Connection

—a new online

volunteer management

system. The program

gives prospective

volunteers visiting

RedCross.org the

opportunity to apply,

take an online orientation and learn what opportunities and

trainings are available, all in one stop. Red Cross volunteers

then use Volunteer Connection to sign up for shifts, receive

communication and updates, correspond with each other

and access additional volunteer opportunities.

The system received key financial support at the national

level from Grainger and Fidelity Investments.

Our goal—to reach 100 percent volunteer enrollment in

Volunteer Connection—was realized within just four months.

Now, 82 percent of volunteers are using the program every

week, and the region saw a 95 percent volunteer retention

rate in fiscal 2013.

In order to maintain this high level of volunteer engagement,

the region is now focusing on volunteer recruitment, and

increasing participation by diverse organizations as well

as individuals. By conducting targeted recruiting in areas

where disaster volunteers respond the most, Eastern

Massachusetts has gained new volunteers who speak 42

different languages, including more volunteers in high-

response neighborhoods in Boston, the Merrimack Valley,

and on the South Shore.

Ready When the Time Comes,

a Red Cross volunteer

training program originally

limited to corporate partners,

was adapted to incorporate

faith-based communities,

clubs and organizations.

In fiscal 2013, Eastern

Massachusetts saw a 60

percent increase in Ready When the Time Comes partners,

including the Youth Leadership Team in Lawrence, Cape

Air in Hyannis, Boston Cares of Boston, and Edgewood

Retirement Community of North Andover.

TIFFANY CIRCLE

14 Eastern Massachusetts

American Red Cross Tiffany Circle Society Eastern Massachusetts Region

The American Red Cross Tiffany Circle is a network of

women leaders and philanthropists who want to make a

major, lasting difference in the lives of people in need. The

group’s name pays homage to the Louis Comfort Tiffany-

designed windows in the American Red Cross headquarters

in Washington, DC, commissioned after the Civil War

by women of the North and South to commemorate the

founding of the Red Cross in 1881.

By investing $10,000 or more annually in their local Red

Cross chapters, Tiffany Circle members save lives, change

lives and strengthen their local communities through a

focused investment of their time, talent and treasure. They

truly follow in the footsteps of our founder, Clara Barton.

From volunteering at a Red Cross food pantry to meet the

emergency food needs of those facing hunger, to rallying the

community around the Red Cross Holiday Mail for Heroes

program, Tiffany Circle members serve as ambassadors and

exemplars, introducing others to the Red Cross mission and

mobilizing support.

DISASTER GIVING

24 Eastern Massachusetts

Annual Disaster Giving Program and Disaster Responder PartnersEffective disaster relief requires reliable funding. The

American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program

(ADGP) and Disaster Responder partners fulfill this critical

need by pre-investing in disaster relief, enabling the Red

Cross to activate immediately and provide lifesaving aid

anywhere in the U.S., regardless of cost. In addition to

providing shelter, food and care when disasters strike,

pre-investments support activities in advance of disasters,

including volunteer training, securing shelter locations,

stocking warehouses with relief supplies and maintaining

disaster relief vehicles.

The ADGP and Disaster Responder are the premier

corporate and foundation giving programs of the Red

Cross. Their members are among our most valuable

disaster response partners and receive the highest level

of recognition, with unmatched access to our information

and leadership.
