*The Union County Chapter has been named one of the Highly Performing Chapters for 2007!*

The Highly Performing rating reflects the commitment and hard work of everyone at the chapter in carrying out the mission of the American Red Cross at the highest level, and is based on the 2007 Chapter Performance Standards (CPS).   More details to come.

The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization led by volunteers, with a mission to provide relief to victims of disasters and to help families prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.  It does this through services which are governed and directed by volunteers, and are consistent with its Congressional charter and the principles of the International Red Cross.
