​The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. In addition to providing relief services following local disaster situations, most of which are home fires, we also offer services and programs to support our military families and veterans, provide preparedness and other potentially lifesaving training courses, and are the nation's leading supplier of blood and blood products.

Last year, the American Red Cross assisted Greene County families following 9 separate disasters, of which 8 were fire disasters, providing recovery assistance and support to 100 disaster victims. We provided more than 25 services to our military families and veterans and collected nearly 150 units of blood.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the American Red Cross Greater Pennsylvania Region has adapted and pivoted our services to continuously provide not just disaster response and recovery assistance but preparedness information and resources. Red Cross Greater Pennsylvania has hosted virtual trainings including our Pedro and Pillowcase Programming to school-aged children along with virtual first-aid, CPR, and AED courses.

​Volunteers comprise over 90% of the Red Cross workforce, making it possible for us to provide comfort and hope when it’s most needed. You can make a difference in your community by becoming a Red Cross volunteer today. Complete training is provided. Learn more at redcross.org/volunteer.
