As one of the most active non-profit organizations in the country, the Canadian Red Cross leaves its mark each and every day through a variety of services intended to help those who have been affected by emergencies, disasters and other incidents.

By offering its assistance - including broadening access to essential items like food, shelter and basic medical care - as well as organizing education prevention programs, people can acquire the tools they need to overcome challenges.

In order to provide the highest level of aid to people affected by hardships, the support of generous Canadians is needed. By becoming a regular contributor to the Canadian Red Cross, you can do your part to help people when they need assistance the most.

Flexible options for giving also make it possible for you to make a difference in many different ways. By participating in loyalty point programs, you can provide the Canadian Red Cross with a reliable source of aid and contribute to humanitarian work conducted around the world!

Donating your loyalty points
When emergencies or other incidents occur that demand assistance, the Canadian Red Cross works to provide immediate relief. Choosing to enroll in a loyalty points program and donating also allows you to provide a continuous stream of aid. In turn, this can make a lifesaving difference for someone during times of need.

Several companies are proud supporters of the Canadian Red Cross and offer loyalty point programs that can be used to benefit people affected by adversity.

The Air Miles Reward Program allows participants to redeem 175 points for a $20 donation, while those who are enrolled in the HBC Reward Points Program can contribute their points, which are then used to service the basic needs of people in crisis situations.

Shoppers Drug Market and Aeroplan also offer loyalty point programs that can help you give essential resources to individuals following emergencies.

Make a difference
From natural disasters to issues of world health, violence and abuse and maternal and child wellness, the humanitarian work conducted by the Canadian Red Cross makes an impact around the world.

Committed to assisting people affected by adversity, the Canadian Red Cross is able to honour its mission of improving the lives of those in need by offering a variety of services.
