Chapter Overview
Mission Statement
The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.
Brief History
In 1908, the Dallas community faced one of its greatest challenges when the Trinity River swelled, flooding the area. More than 4,000 people were made homeless. A small group of passionate and committed individuals, who later founded the Dallas Area Chapter of the American Red Cross, set to work. The group erected a tent city at Main and Stone streets and hauled hay in wagons to make beds. In one day, Dallas residents contributed $156,000 to aid the victims.
Almost 100 years later, the Dallas Area Chapter continues the legacy of those hardworking men and women to provide disaster relief assistance and safety education to the North Texas community. That's our promise to you--to be there whenever or wherever we are needed.

Volunteering
Volunteers are the heart of the American Red Cross. Without them, we would not be able to respond to disasters, teach heath and safety training as well as community disaster education courses where they are needed or assist the members of the military in a timely and effective manner. The American Red Cross works in local communities to meet immediate needs to prevent, prepare for and respond to disasters. Can you lend a hand? Learn more about volunteer opportunities.
