Disaster Services
The American Red Cross provides shelter, food, health and mental health services to meet the basic human needs of those affected. We also develop and distribute a variety of materials to educate the public and build a culture of preparedness.
Service to the Armed Forces
The American Red Cross sends communications on behalf of family members who are facing emergencies or other important events to members of the U. S. Armed Forces all over the world around-the-clock, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Health and Safety Services
American Red Cross training and educational programs help to save lives and empower people to respond to disasters and other life-threatening emergencies.
International Services
The American Red Cross works within the world's largest humanitarian network with more than 180 national Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Volunteers
Red Cross volunteers serve on disaster assignments, teach first aid and CPR, serve in leadership positions, assist in fund raising activities, and help tell the Red Cross story.
Whether it is a hurricane or a heart attack, the American Red Cross can provide people with the education and training they need to stay safe. The Appalachian Chapter is an independent, nonprofit organization governed by a local Board of Directors consisting of volunteers. We are grateful to the United Way of Anderson County for partnering with us to provide vital Red Cross programs and services in this area.
