Southeast Missouri Chapter (American Red Cross) Charity Profile
The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization, led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement, will provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.
Southeast Missouri Chapter (American Red Cross) Volunteer Information
Every day, the American Red Cross helps people in emergencies, whether it is half a million disaster victims or one sick child who needs blood.
We depend on volunteers, who constitute 97 percent of our total work force, to carry on our humanitarian work:
Every year, the Red Cross is there for hurricane, earthquake, and other disaster victims--including 150 families forced from their homes by fire every day.
175,000 volunteers worked to prevent, prepare for and respond to nearly 64,000 disaster incidents last year.
Over 15 million Americans turn to us to learn first aid, CPR, swimming, and other health and safety skills. Last year, more than 230,000 people volunteered to teach those courses.
Half of the nation's blood supply--six million pints annually--is collected by more than 190,000 Red Cross volunteers.
Among our emergency services for the men and women of the armed forces is the delivery of urgent messages--one every 22 seconds.
Over 24,000 volunteers serve as chairs, members of boards of directors, or on advisory boards for local Red Cross units - chapters, Blood Services regions, and military stations.
As part of the International Red Cross movement, we work to ease human suffering on a global scale.

Southeast Missouri Chapter (American Red Cross) Donation Information
A hot meal delivered to victims after a disaster, blood when it is needed most, shelter when there is nowhere else to turn, an emergency message delivered to a member of the Armed Forces from their family -- these are just some of the ways that gifts are put to work through the American Red Cross.
Our supporters have become part of a network of millions of Americans who donate their time, money and blood to the humanitarian work of the Red Cross. We thank them for their gifts and we are privileged to put their compassion into action.
