Who We Are

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.​ The Southwestern Pennsylvania Chapter serves Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Greene, Lawrence and Washington Counties, and also functions as the headquarters of the 61-county Greater Pennsylvania Region. Your time and talent can make a real difference in people's lives. 90% of the Red Cross workforce are volunteers.  Our work is possible because of people like you. 

The American Red Cross, through its strong network of volunteers, donors and partners, is always there in times of need. We aspire to turn compassion into action so that...

 ...all people affected by disaster across the country and around the world receive care, shelter and hope;

 ...our communities are ready and prepared for disasters;

 ...everyone in our country has access to safe, lifesaving blood and blood products;

 ...all members of our armed services and their families find support and comfort whenever needed; and

 ...in an emergency, there are always trained individuals nearby, ready to use their Red Cross skills to save lives.
