The Red Cross provides complete relief services world wide. Recognized as the foremost international aid agency the International Red Cross and Red Crescent operates in every nation on of the world.

Within North America, Adventist Community Services supports the mission of the Red Cross and other disaster relief agencies and a goods management, warehousing, and distribution coordinator with contracts with local, state, and national governments. ACS provides to the Red Cross food and clothing that is sent into disaster areas for use in their camps and shelters.
Outside of the operating areas of ACS the Adventist Development and Relief Agency operates in a capacity equal to ACS in disaster, and at times in broader aspects as the first responding agency to a disaster or in redevelopment in the aftermath of a disaster.

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees - United Nations Refugee Agency.
ADRA assists with the distribution of clothing and food for refugees and in some cases manages refugee camps for the United Nations throughout the nations in which it operates. Neighbors of war-torn countries often completely impoverished themselves rely on this organization and others that support refugees, to protect, feed, cloth, educate, house and otherwise tend to those who stream across their borders each day.

The World Food Programme is the food-assistance branch of the United Nations and the world's largest humanitarian organization addressing hunger and promoting food security. According to the WFP, it provides food assistance to an average of 91.4 million people in 83 countries each year. ADRA works closely with the WFP to collect and distribute food to the hungry. As seen in 2018 when these two organizations worked hand-in-hand in Uganda.
