On
behalf of the volunteers of the St. Clair County Chapter of the American
Red Cross, welcome to our Web site. As Michigan’s largest
volunteer-led chapter, we are eager to serve the emergency needs of our
community. If we work together, we can save a life!
The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers,
guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of
the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of
disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to all
emergencies.
The volunteer staff of
the St. Clair County Chapter of the American Red Cross has been serving
residents in St. Clair Country since 1917. Our services are
supported by over 780 volunteer
staff members and one paid staff member. Our chapter serves over 50,000 people in
St. Clair County.
We have prepared
logistically for disasters, emergencies, and several community programs -
health and safety, blood collection, biomedical, youth, seniors, and Armed
Forces Emergency Services - throughout the county. We are proud to
be an important life saving and changing organization in St. Clair County.
The Fundamental
Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement are:
Humanity | Impartiality
| Neutrality |
Independence
Voluntary Service
| Unity
| Universality
The St. Clair County Chapter of the
American Red Cross recognizes the cultural diversity of the Chapter's membership
and the community in which it serves. It is our expectation that our volunteers
and paid employees will exhibit respect for all individuals with whom they come
in contact.
Understanding and
acceptance of the diverse cultural and ethnic background of our community will
only serve to benefit everyone. The St. Clair County Chapter of the
American Red Cross will continue to provide opportunities for our members to
develop awareness of, and sensitivity to, the variety of cultures and ethnic
issues in our county. It is our desire to improve communication with, and
understanding of everyone we serve.
Thank You For Visiting Our Site!
