The American Red Cross of Western New York is a local chapter of a national humanitarian nonprofit that mobilizes volunteers and donors to prevent and alleviate human suffering in emergencies. It supports disaster relief, shelter and recovery, and blood collection and distribution, while also providing assistance to service members and their families. The organization relies on a broad network of volunteers and partners to respond to emergencies and to prepare communities for future events. Based in Buffalo, New York, the chapter serves its region with a relatively small staff dedicated to delivering Red Cross services. 

Operating within the nonprofit sector, it participates in a nationwide system that coordinates resources and volunteers to meet local needs during disasters and in broader public health efforts. A recent development from the broader Red Cross includes the launch of a Prehospital Transfusion Program in Washington, D.C., in 2024, developed with local fire and EMS authorities and a university hospital blood bank to extend lifesaving transfusion capabilities outside hospital settings.
