How
long have you been in business?
The Frederick County Chapter of the American Red
Cross was chartered April 27, 1917, so we have now been serving the community
for over 96 years.
How
many employees do you have?
We currently have 4 staff, but we also have 170
volunteers that help support the Red Cross mission here in Frederick County.
Why do
you believe you will be successful in Frederick County?
For nearly a century we have been here to help
whenever and wherever emergencies strike; whether bringing help and hope to
people in distress, providing critical life-saving training, or supporting
military members and their families.
Given the compassionate and supportive nature of the Frederick
community, and our strong working relationships with local government and
emergency management agencies, I know that we will continue to be successful in
providing services here in Frederick County for centuries to come.
If your
company is involved in community outreach, please share with us your
involvement.
We work very closely with other agencies throughout
Frederick County in supporting the needs of the community. This type of collaboration is important for
all of us to fulfill our mission in serving the citizens of Frederick County.
What
are you most proud of?
Our volunteers! Be it a blood donor, a board member,
an office volunteer, an instructor, or a disaster responder, I am honored to
have the opportunity to interact with such amazing and compassionate
individuals.
