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 44 local disasters, including residential fires. We helped 46 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 disaster education presentations to 741 members of our community.
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, 2,246 individuals learned lifesaving skills through classes offered by the chapter.
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 and other armed forces services including financial aid for 128 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 126 blood drives, collecting 4,397 units of blood.
A Note About Volunteers
Our chapter employees only 2 full time employees and 1 part time employee, so we greatly depend on volunteers of all ages and backgrounds to carry on our work. Volunteers constitute 97 percent of our total workforce, serving as members of the board, instructors teaching lifesaving skills, disaster action team members, office administrators, event organizers and more.
This year, 183 volunteers made the work of the chapter possible. Our office volunteers, emergency services coordinator and our armed forces coordinator alone contributed 3,328 hours, for a contribution estimated at $23,296.
We have 27 Blood Services volunteers, 34 Health and Safety Instructors, and 61 Disaster Services. The Disaster Services volunteers serve the people of Ross County and many of them travel throughout the United States to help where needed in time of disaster. We appreciate our volunteers and could not do the work that we do without their dedication.
