The
Year 2007 marks the 90th Anniversary of the
Madison/Marshall County Chapter American Red
Cross serving our community through times of war
and peace with disaster assistance, blood
collection, safety training, services to the
armed forces, local school first aid rooms and
countless other community assistance services.
From inception, the organinzation's actons have
been guided by its dedication to humanity and a
desire to promote mutual understanding,
friendship, cooperation and a lasting peace.
Today, under the same trusted symbol, we
continue to be there during times of disaster
through the dedication and self-sacrifice of
employees and volunteers, as well as the
generousity of the Madison and Marshall County
communities.
The
Red Cross is there to help people - across the
street, across the county and across the world -
prevent, prepare for, and respond to life's
emergencies. We are a humanitarian organization
led by volunteers and guided by our
congressional charter and the fundamental
principles of the International Red Cross
Movement.
