The Red Cross collection box is part of the Red Cross' work to collect funds for humanitarian purposes. The collection boxes are placed in various places to make it easy for people to contribute to the organisation's projects and activities. The Red Cross works with emergency aid, health, social work and preparedness, and the income from the collection boxes goes to these initiatives.
The organization has a long history in Norway and is part of the international Red Cross movement, which was founded in 1863. The collection boxes help to raise awareness of the Red Cross' work and give people the opportunity to support important projects that help vulnerable groups in society. The Red Cross is known for its efforts in crisis situations and for offering support to people in need.
