The American Red Cross of Northern New England serves all residents, nearly 3.2 million people, across New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Here are some ways to give and get involved with the Red Cross: Volunteer: You can make a difference every day. You can help comfort victims of a house fire or teach a pet first aid class. Whether you are interested in community services, international services, disaster services or any of the other lines of services in the Red Cross, you'll find something that fits your niche. Donate: You have the power to make a difference in someone's life. All you have to do is make a contribution. Every donation helps provide services to those in need. Give Blood: You can help prevent life-threatening reactions of patients. Donor blood must be compatible with the recipient's blood, and it is very likely that a donor within the same racial/ethnic group will be a better match.
