Biomedical/Blood
Services
What began as a war relief effort to provide life-saving blood
for soldiers during World War II has grown by leaps and bounds—
The American Red Cross now collects and distributes half the
nation's blood supply.
Disaster
Services
Each year, the American Red Cross responds immediately to
more than 67,000 disasters nationwide, including house or
apartment fires (the majority of disaster responses), hurricanes,
floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hazardous materials spills
and other natural and man-made disasters. All Red Cross disaster
assistance is free, made possible by voluntary donations of
time and money from the American people.
Health
and Safety
Last year, nearly 12 million people nationally enrolled in
American Red Cross health and safety courses. Locally, you
can help the Red Cross save lives. Become an instructor or
an authorized provider, take a course, or volunteer with the
Rome Area Chapter.
International
Services
The American Red Cross works with a global network of Red
Cross, Red Crescent and equivalent societies to restore hope
and dignity to the world's vulnerable people. This international
Red Cross movement brings emergency relief to disaster victims,
and improves basic living conditions of those in deprived
areas of the world.
Service
to the Armed Forces
Your Rome Area Chapter is keeping pace with the changing military,
allowing those military members stationed all over the world
to send messages to loved ones back home during an emergency
or other important events. These communications are delivered
around-the-clock, 365 days a year.
Youth
Services
The American Red Cross Rome Area Chapter is proud to announce
a wonderful coalition with the youth of our area.
