The mission of the American Red Cross in Greater New York is to help people avoid, prepare for, and cope with emergencies; to enhance self-reliance and concern for others; and to improve the quality of human life.

It does this through services that are led by volunteers and guided by its congressional charter and the principles of the International Red Cross Movement.
