Following this afternoon's river cruise ship collision in New Orleans, Red Cross disaster teams are on the scene supporting those impacted.

Our volunteers are on the ground now, providing water, blankets and emotional support to cruise guests and staff affected by the incident. We're working alongside first responders and community partners to help identify needs and provide comfort and care during this difficult time. Our thoughts remain with everyone affected by this incident.

Every dollar you give to the Louisiana Red Cross right now gets doubled. 💥

Ameriprise Financial is matching gifts dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000. So a $25 gift becomes $50 for families facing disaster.

This year, your neighbors in the Red Cross answered more than 1,000 home fires across Louisiana. They opened 41 shelters and warming centers. And they showed up after Tropical Storm Arthur and the tornadoes.

See what your support did in 2026, and double it for 2027 👇

On Veterans Day, we honor the men and women who have bravely served and express our deep gratitude for their sacrifices and contributions.

We also appreciate our partners at Prince St. Pizza in Baton Rouge for donating 10% of sales on Nov. 11 to support American Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces and CBS and The NCISverse for matching funds raised at Prince St. Pizza up to $10,000.

Thank you for helping us support those who have served!

If your smoke alarm only goes off when you try to sear a steak, we need to talk. 🥩🔥

Smoke alarms don’t have to be complicated—or dramatic. The American Red Cross teamed up with Jason Patton from Fire Department Chronicles to bring you quick, no-nonsense tips on where they actually go, how often to test them and why they might just be the most important gadget in your home.

Watch, learn and test your buttons today. (Your future self—and your cooking—will thank you.)

🎃 Trunk-or-treating and an incredible community spirit!

Our volunteers had a fantastic time last weekend at the Safe & Sweet Trunk-or-Treat Fest & Safety Town Community Day! From handing out treats and sharing home fire safety tips with local families to admiring all the creative costumes, it was a wonderful day of connection and preparedness.

A huge thank-you to the event organizers The Safety Place - Safety & Injury Prevention and our fellow community partners!

Most of all, thank you to everyone who stopped by our trunk to say hello. Meeting our neighbors and helping our community stay safe, prepared, and resilient is at the heart of everything we do.

🎃 Trick or treat… and CPR? 🎃

Last month, our Northshore volunteers brought spooky AND lifesaving skills to the St. Tammany Parenting Center (STHS Parenting Center) Health Monster Mash, an annual fundraiser that supports new families and those with young children.

We’re proud to support such an important cause!

A huge thank-you to our volunteers who handed out candy 🍬, shared tips to help families prepare for emergencies 🔦, and…

🚨 BROKE OUR RECORD with 75 Hands-Only CPR demonstrations! 🚨

That’s 75 more people who now know how to step in and help save a life.
Now THAT’S a treat worth celebrating! 🙌
