The American Red Cross
 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
Doing Well by Doing Good

 PROFILE
The American Red Cross is a member of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, a not-for-profit organization committed to helping people, especially after disasters. Though chartered by Congress in 1905 to provide relief services, the American Red Cross isn't a government agency. Its staff is made up largely of volunteers -- more than 1.3 million of them. Aside from providing relief to victims of more than 60,000 natural and man-made disasters nationwide each year, the Red Cross teaches CPR, first aid, babysitting, and AIDS awareness courses; provides counseling and emergency message transmission for US military personnel; and maintains the nation's largest blood, plasma, and tissue banks.
