Our Mission

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

 

Our Chapter

Our Chapter has been providing emergency services to victims of disaster throughout our jurisdiction since 1917.  In addition to victims who require financial assistance to recover from a disaster, our chapter also assists victims of disaster with food, shelter, mental and physical and mental health care and referrals.  We complete our mission of helping people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies through Health and Safety Training, Armed Forces Emergency Services, and Disaster Preparedness Education.
