The mission of the American Red Cross, an organization built upon the unwavering spirit of the American people, has always been to help people help themselves.

The willingness of the people of the American Red Cross to accept the challenges confronting a fast changing society has brought about an explosion of social services from disaster relief to emergency communications for the military, from first aid programs to swimming lessons to CPR/AED training to Emergency Incident Rehab for emergency workers.

We are an organization that is always prepared, yet constantly reviewing the needs of the community and seeking innovative ways to meet them.

The American Red Cross of Lackawanna County has a rich heritage of caring for our neighbors in our community and today that caring continues.
