During an emergency, the Red Cross delivers help to whoever needs it, regardless of citizenship status. The Red Cross doesn’t see cultural or ethnic backgrounds, just a person who needs help. 

  • As part of our humanitarian mission, the Red Cross will feed, shelter and provide other forms of support without regard to race, religion or citizenship status. 
  • The Red Cross is a charity, not a government agency, and people who have disaster-caused needs do not need to be American citizens to access Red Cross services. 
  • The Red Cross will not ask people to show any form of identification in order to stay in our shelters. 
  • We do ask people staying in our shelters for their names and pre-disaster addresses so that we can track who is using our services. 
  • In order to receive some Red Cross services, such as meeting with a caseworker to facilitate disaster recovery, we will need to verify a person’s pre-disaster address. For people who don’t have government-issued identification, we can usually do this through alternative means, such as a copy of a utility bill.
