Fayette-Nicholas Chapter America Red Cross - One of my Favorite Organizations

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.

The Red Cross is always looking for volunteers and donations! If you can help volunteer as an instructor, emergency worker, in the office, or other capacity please call your local chapter! If you don't have time to volunteer, any size donation can help your community!
