How We Help The American Red Cross exists to provide compassionate care to those in need. Our network of generous donors, volunteers and employees share a mission of preventing and relieving suffering, here at home and around the world, through five key service areas including disaster relief, supporting military families, supplying blood, health and safety instruction, and international humanitarian work.

Volunteer—Make a Difference In Your Community Nearly 95% of Red Cross disaster relief workers are volunteers, who respond to displaced families in Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties almost every day. The vast majority of those families are displaced by home fires. Join us by volunteering to help deliver this critical service.

Prevent Home Fires The Red Cross responds to nearly 64,000 disasters every year—the vast majority of which are home fires. That’s why the Red Cross launched our nationwide Home Fire Campaign in 2014 and rallied an army of volunteers, donors and partners to canvass high-risk neighborhoods, install free smoke alarms, replace batteries in existing alarms and help families create escape plans. Learn more at redcross.org/sound-the-alarm.

Impact Lives—Donate Money or Blood The Red Cross is not a government agency, and depends on the generosity of the communities we serve. You can ensure that help is available when needed by donating at redcross.org/centralcalifornia.

We work in our community with a common set of values. We believe in the rights and dignity of children. We are committed to putting that belief to work for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. And we hold ourselves to the highest standards of excellence in service.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE, ONE CHILD AT A TIME

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t possibly make a difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said, “I just made a difference for that one.” Original Story by Loren Eisley Volunteer. Donate. Change a Child’s Life.

Keeping pets out of shelters and with their families for life.

Did you know that thousands of pet-owners in our community live in poverty and struggle to not only provide basic services for themselves, but for their dogs and cats? Without proper resources, many families are forced to give up their animals, which leads to heartbreak for the pet and owner and impacts our local shelters.

In Santa Barbara County, nonprofit C.A.R.E.4Paws has provided a safety net for low- income, senior, disabled and homeless pet owners since 2009 by offering a range of intervention services, most of them in our own mobile veterinary clinic. This includes free spays and neuters, low-cost vaccine clinics, assistance with veterinary care, animal behavioral training and delivery of pet food.

Our Paws Up For Pets humane education program, in partnership with United Boys & Girls Clubs, works with local youth to inspire compassion and accountability for animals and empathy in our community as a whole.

Our goal is to intervene before an animal suffers, is allowed to breed or ends up homeless.

By working together, we make a pawsitive difference for animals and their families in this community and beyond. We hope you’ll join our team!

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR CHILDREN OF STRAWBERRY FIELD WORKERS

Education is a powerful launching point to a better future, for students, families, and communities. The California Strawberry Growers’ Scholarship Fund provides more than $150,000 every year to support the higher education of children of strawberry field workers.

Since 1995, the California Strawberry Growers’ Scholarship Fund, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has supported hundreds of students in their pursuit of a higher education - all the children of California strawberry field workers.

This program alone has funded students nearly $2 million to complete their bachelors’ and associate degrees, as well as advanced degrees in science, agriculture, medicine, and law.

A college education has more return on investment for a graduate in the United States than any other nation.

• Earnings increase, and unemployment rates decrease, with rising levels of education.

• The chances of earning top dollar improves with a bachelor’s degree, regardless of family income or college attended.

• Nearly 40% of small business owners hold a bachelor’s degree, compared to 28% with a high school diploma.

California’s strawberry growers, shippers, processors and affiliated businesses are proud to support their field workers and their families, helping them build their own American Dream.

FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES WIN WHEN THEIR STUDENTS GO TO COLLEGE, TOO:

“I know that the California Strawberry Growers’ Scholarship Fund has certainly helped me to be a role model for not only my brother but for my community as well. Receiving this scholarship helped me demonstrate that anything is possible to accomplish in life with dedication, commitment and perseverance.” -K. Martinez-Ortiz
