About American Red Cross 
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 Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides comfort to people affected by disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members and their families. Here in Georgia, the organization serves around 10 million people across 159 counties within eight chapters. This is done through the support of a large volunteer workforce, donors and partners who aim to prevent and relieve suffering with every action. Nearly 90 percent of all services are performed by a dedicated network of volunteers nationwide, including nearly 3,000 volunteers in Georgia. The Red Cross is a nonprofit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to deliver its mission.

“The American Red Cross of Georgia is proud to join the Chairman’s Circle of the Douglas County Chamber . We understand the value of partnerships in the community and how critical it is in the ability to deliver our mission,” said Alicia Doherty “The partnerships in Douglas County and across the state help us prepare for and respond to disasters, collect and distribute lifesaving blood products, train residents in first aid and water safety, and support our military members and their families.”
