About American Red Cross of Greater New York:
The American Red Cross of Greater New York provides immediate humanitarian aid to more than 100,000 New Yorkers affected by 3,000 emergencies a year, including fires, floods, building collapses and power outages. The chapter also helps New York residents and businesses prepare for emergencies by offering hundreds of courses in first aid, CPR and aquatics and emergency preparedness training programs.
In an effort to make preparedness an integral part of every New Yorker's life, the American Red Cross of Greater New York created the Centennial Circle in 2007. These 60 civic-minded women are devoted to making a difference in the community, and use their business skills and influence to raise funds to provide individuals and families in "at-risk" neighborhoods with the resources necessary to effectively prepare for a major disaster. Their initial efforts are focused on Central and East Harlem, an area of New York City at high risk from a natural disaster due to its vulnerability to flooding and a significant population base that's unprepared to meet the challenges of disaster.
ARC/GNY is not a governmental organization and relies on donations to fund its free services to the more than 9 million New Yorkers it services throughout the boroughs and lower Hudson valley counties. For more information about volunteering, donating and training, visit www.nyredcross.org or call 1-877-RED CROSS (1-877-733-2767).
