The Red Cross in Our Community
Disaster Relief and Community Disaster Education When a disaster threatens or strikes, the Red Cross is there. This year we responded to 28 local disasters, including 26 residential fires. We helped 28 affected individuals and families with emergency food, shelter and supplies.
Because being prepared can make your family and community safer and sometimes minimize injury and destruction, we made numerous disaster education presentations in the community along with material passed out at the fairs, schools, and other events through the county.
Health and Safety Services From first aid, CPR and AED training to swimming and lifeguarding, American Red Cross programs help people lead safer and healthier lives. This year, over 1,500 individuals learned lifesaving skills through 187 classes offered by the chapter.
International Services The international tracing program helps local families find relatives with whom they have lost contact because of a natural disaster, war or internal conflict. We help reconnect families with loved ones in foreign lands.
Armed Forces Emergency Services The American Red Cross provides communication between those in the Armed Forces and their families. We have a worldwide network that reaches service members wherever they are to communicate a birth, death or illness. This year we provided emergency connections for 25 military families.
Blood Services Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs blood. Thanks to generous blood donors, the Red Cross collects and distributes nearly half the nation’s blood supply. Over the last year, we helped run 32 blood drives, collecting 2277 units of blood.
