Does the Red Cross work with other community organization and groups?
A. Yes. Many Red Cross programs and services are specifically aimed at minorities, young people, disabled persons, the elderly, people in the workplace, and others. To reach these various groups, the Red Cross works hand-in-hand with many different organizations, including minority groups, schools, labor unions, public health agencies, corporations, and other public and private service organizations. For example, in the devastating aftermath of Hurricanes Georges and Mitch in the fall of 1998, the Westchester Chapter joined forces with the Westchester Hispanic Coalition and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to help raise funds for the millions of victims affected. Working together makes all our jobs easier – and our lives better.
