Costliest Year for American Red Cross Since World War II
The 1965-66 fiscal year saw the American Red Cross spend a record $120,819,624, the highest since 1945-46, driven by heavy demand from U.S. military forces in South Vietnam and Hurricane Betsy relief. Expenditures exceeded income, depleting the disaster revolving fund, as volunteers and chapters expanded services to servicemen families and disaster victims, with notable relief in blood collection and international aid.
