 For
more than 90 years the American Red Cross of Central Alabama
has been helping our community prevent, prepare for and
respond to disasters. Since its founding in 1917, the local
chapter has been working daily to help keep our neighbors
healthy and safe.
The American Red Cross exists to preserve life and
alleviate suffering. It is a place families can turn to for
food, shelter and comfort when fires and other emergencies
strike. Around the clock and every day of the year, the Red
Cross is responding to local disasters, teaching first aid
and CPR classes, collecting life-saving blood, serving as a
life link for members of the military and their families,
and helping communities near or far during times of crisis.
 Just
last year alone, your local Red Cross provided assistance to
victims of nearly 400 disasters, helped 476 military
families with emergency communications, collected more than
10,500 units of lifesaving blood, and issued nearly 13,000
certificates in first aid, CPR, and other health and safety
courses.
It is
because of the generous support we receive from this
community that we are able to provide such vital services.
Your contributions of time, money and blood enable our
volunteers and staff to carry out the lifesaving mission of
the Red Cross.
The
American Red Cross of Central Alabama is your local conduit
to care and compassion. We hope you will consider helping
support our humanitarian work by making a financial
contribution, becoming a volunteer or donating life-saving
blood. Together, we can save a life. |
