The American Red Cross,
a humanitarian organization, led by volunteers, and guided by its Congressional
Charter and the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross movement
will provide relief to victims of disaster and help people prevent, prepare for,
and respond to emergencies.
The Wyoming Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross had its beginning in
1914 when a group of residents started the Red Cross Society. Two years later,
they were chartered by the American Red Cross under the title of the
Wilkes-Barre Chapter. But it was not until the next year, that the chapter name
was changed to the Wyoming Valley Chapter to better represent the community
which we serve.
