Rescue Task Force (RTF) is a San Diego County based non-profit relief agency that responds to natural and man-made disasters world-wide. In addition to local military and military family support through their “Happy Hearts for Hurting Heroes” Back Pack program, RTF delivers volunteer medical and dental teams into the jungles villages of Honduras and has constructed three full service medical and dental clinic facilities deep in the jungles of Honduras’ Miskito Coast. RTF also operates fifteen schools for women in Afghanistan.

United States Congressman Duncan Hunter has commended Rescue Task Force from the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob, in commending RTF’s relief work during the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon and our disaster response to fires of 2003, referred to Rescue Task Force as San Diego’s “Premier relief agency”.

Task Force is an agile and innovative non-profit organization whose mission is to alleviate suffering and provide developmental aid to those who have been marginalized by geography or economic deprivation. We often go where others do not go to help those who are outside the scope of conventional relief providers.

We also respond rapidly with medical and other immediate aid to victims of man-made and natural disasters world-wide.

Rescue Task Force projects are made possible by the contributions of our supporters to whom we are fully accountable.

The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.

Since its founding in 1881 by visionary leader Clara Barton, the American Red Cross has been the nation’s premier emergency response organization. As part of a worldwide movement that offers neutral humanitarian care to the victims of war, the American Red Cross distinguishes itself by also aiding victims of devastating natural disasters. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services, always with the aim of preventing and relieving suffering.

Today, in addition to domestic disaster relief, the American Red Cross offers compassionate services in five other areas: community services that help the needy; support and comfort for military members and their families; the collection, processing and distribution of lifesaving blood and blood products; educational programs that promote health and safety; and international relief and development programs.
