Regardless of the incident, the American Red Cross is always there and ready to serve you.Destructive hurricanes in Florida, historic snowfall in California, and the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.They were all recent moments—highlighting the urgent need for the American Red Cross.
"We had amazing volunteers who worked 24/7 at that shelter, taking care of those residents. We were there for several days," Christy Peters, American Red Cross Regional Communications Manager in Northern Ohio.Every year—since 1943 the President of the United States has proclaimed March as Red Cross Month.In fact, one out of every seven patients admitted to the hospital requires a blood transfusion.
The Red Cross has responded to three million disasters since 1881 and supplies about 40% of the nation's blood. "These are individuals who are leaving their families—whether it may be on a holiday, or a weekend, or in the middle of the night —to go help someone—truly what on what I consider is someone's darkest day," Rachel D'Attoma, Executive Director of Greater Akron and Mahoning Chapter of the American Red Cross said.From first-aid and CPR courses-- to home smoke alarm installations—D'Attoma says the Red Cross always aims to be a safety net in the community.
