New Red Cross Headquarters: Blood & Disaster Response in Central Texas

When help can’t wait, Central Texas counts on the Red Cross.

Texas is the most disaster-prone state in the nation—with fires, floods, and extreme weather impacting communities year after year. At the same time, our blood supply is increasingly fragile. The Red Cross provides nearly 40% of the nation’s blood, yet only about 2% of eligible adults donate, creating critical shortages that put lives at risk every day.

In Austin, we’re building a new Regional Headquarters to help us respond faster to disasters, collect more lifesaving blood, and support families when crisis strikes.

Your generosity helps ensure:
- Blood is available for trauma care, cancer treatment, and surgeries
- Volunteers and supplies are ready before the next disaster
- Families aren’t left alone after losing homes to fires or floods

Give by June 30, 2026 to help unlock a $1.32 million challenge grant and multiply your impact across Central Texas.
