The miles, which facilitate the transport of volunteers and staff to critical areas, are used by the Red Cross to fulfill our promise to the public - to help provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.

The Red Cross often receives requests to use these donated air miles from individuals in need of free travel assistance due to a medical or other personal emergency, such as a death in the family.
