The American Red Cross is helping your community every day, assisting victims of fire, teaching life-saving skills, collecting blood for local hospitals, and so much more. As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of the local community to enable us to provide lifesaving services every day.

The role of the Community Affairs department is to:

• Raise awareness of the Red Cross’ mission through community programs and partnership with media. To learn about what’s happening at your local chapter, read our press releases or read about us in the news

• Recruit volunteers and interns to provide vital services to the public To learn about opportunities for volunteering and interning, visit volunteer

The Lackawanna County Chapter is indebted to the local community – businesses, churches, schools, hospitals, community centers, the list is endless, for all of their support.
