There was a significant drop in blood donors over the holidays so the American Red Cross is issuing an emergency for donors to give.

Pets are more than just animals, they're family members. Imagine being out and your dog is choking or your cat may have eaten something they shouldn't. Don't you wish you had one app on your phone that could help you know what to do.

There is a dire need for blood donations in the Capital Region. The American Red Cross has teamed once again to offer their "A Pint for A Pint" promotion. When you give blood, you get a sweet treat.

The American Red Cross volunteers will be knocking on doors throughout the Capital Region to install smoke detectors for those who need them. They are hoping they get a warmer reception by getting the word out sooner this year.

There is a very powerful letter circulating online from a young woman who was dying of cancer. Although most of the words in her message have been said before, this time, for me, it was different.

The American Red Cross has been helping all of those affected by all three hurricanes. Capital Region residents have been traveling to the affected areas and now more are being deployed to Puerto Rico.

With the devastation from Hurricane Harvey hitting Texas, the American Red Cross is looking for volunteers to head to the affected areas to help. Our local chapter, the American Red Cross of Eastern NY, is willing to train you.

The Tri City Valley Cats are the minor league affiliate of the Houston Astros. When Hurricane Harvey hit Houston and southeast Texas, they wanted to do their part to help.

With the devastation from Hurricane Harvey and the tropical storm still hitting Texas, the American Red Cross is looking for volunteers to head to the affected areas to help. Our local chapter, the American Red Cross of Eastern NY, is willing to train you.

Hurricane Harvey has devastated parts of Texas and even though it is a tropical storm, the rain is relentless and the flooding; catastrophic. My college friend, Ruth lives in Houston and she and her family are trying to stay positive under these extreme circumstances. There is something we can all do to help.

Every year, the local chapter of the American Red Cross holds a breakfast to honor those in our community who we consider to be heroes. Now they need your help to nominate these individuals for this year's honor breakfast.
