On behalf of the
Board of Directors, volunteers and staff of the
American Red Cross in Schuylkill & E.
Northumberland County, I would like to thank you
for checking out our site. In the coming
months, we hope to have much more available for
you. If you
have an interest in becoming a volunteer in our
chapter, please call us. We would love to
hear from you.
The American Red
Cross is a humanitarian organization, led by
volunteers, that provides relief to victims of
disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for,
and respond to emergencies. Our chapter of
the American Red Cross serves all of Schuylkill
(with the exception of 5 municipalities on the
Luzerne County border) and parts of Eastern
Northumberland County.
Some of the
services that we provide include: Disaster
Services and Training, Service to Military
Families and Veterans, Blood Services, Health and
Safety Services including training in First Aid,
CPR, Swimming, and Lifesaving, International
Tracing Services, and HIV/AIDS Training.
All money
received to carry out these services comes from
voluntary contributions of individuals like you.
No money is received from any government
organization. |

Lifeline, a home monitoring service, allows people
to continue to live on their own when
circumstances of age or disability may otherwise
prevent. A representative is standing by to
help 24 hours a day. One press of a button
activates a small in-home unit. This puts the
person in need in touch with a caring LIFELINE
representative who talks to that person to
investigate what kind of help is needed. The
price for the service is surprisingly affordable and
there is no need to make a long-term commitment.
For additional information, please call Jodi at the
Pottsville Office.
We welcome your help
in carrying out our work. We depend on
volunteers from each of the communities we
represent. For more information on our
services or to inquire about being a volunteer, call
one of our offices - Pottsville (570) 622-9550,
shenandoah (570) 462-0279 or Shamokin (570)
648-3601. |
