American Red Cross (Genesee-Lapeer Chapter)

About the 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. Survivors of disaster, patients needing lifesaving blood, members of the military and many more turn to the Red Cross every second of every day. Since volunteers constitute about 95 percent of the American Red Cross workforce, it is through your continuous participation and support that we are able to mobilize the world's largest humanitarian network.

About the Great Lakes Blood Services Region: We offer the community a chance to donate blood in our donor room located at the Genesee-Lapeer Chapter of the Red Cross in Flint as well as through area mobile blood drives. We also deliver blood to various locations, including hospitals that need it either on a regularly scheduled run or in emergency situations.

The Genesee-Lapeer Chapter assists with disasters such as house/apartment fires, tornados, floods, toxic spills and other situations that leave people in need of immediate assistance. We work with our Armed Forces, providing emergency connections to military families. Classes in CPR, First Aid, aquatics, and other life-saving classes.
