American Red Cross, Suffolk Chapter

Suffolk, Virginia

Cause Description:
The American Red Cross, founded in 1881 by Clara Barton, is a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality. The Red Cross saves lives and eases suffering by providing relief to those affected by disasters and helping people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies. The American Red Cross empowers ordinary people to perform extraordinary acts in emergency situations. We train. We mobilize. We connect donors and volunteers to those in urgent need of a helping hand. Whether it is a hurricane or a heart attack; a call for blood or a call for help, the American Red Cross is there. The Suffolk Chapter of the American Red Cross, established in 1917, is not a government agency. We rely on donations of time, money, and blood to provide humanitarian services and programs. Together, we can transform a life in crisis into a life of hope.
