For more than 100 years, dedicated Red Cross volunteers have helped El Paso and the communities of West Texas through disasters big and small. When disaster strikes, the American Red Cross springs into action. Whether it’s a home fire or other devastating event, local volunteers stand ready to respond at all hours of the day to provide shelter, food, clothing, recovery casework, physical and mental health care, and direct financial assistance to our community members when they need it most.

In the past year, hundreds of dedicated Red Cross volunteers from El Paso have: - Supported local people facing disaster - Provided direct financial assistance to those in need - Installed lifesaving smoke alarms in the most vulnerable neighborhoods in West Texas.

May 13, 2022. Rociada, New Mexico. Don has over 13 years of experience in disaster relief with the American Red Cross but he says that this wildfire is harder scene for him than managing flood or tornado relief. “ We’ve seen places with no identification left of their home. There are no signals up here so we’ve gone old school and rely on paper maps. It’s like detective work. It’s much harder”. Photo by Marko Kokic/American Red Cross
