Crossing Paths

At last month's Donorama, 1,500 people donated over 1,300 pints of blood to help save lives. While the American Red Cross is the single largest supplier of blood in the United States, what many people don't know is that it is congressionally chartered to respond to all Americans struck by disasters and provide emergency communications and support to military families stationed all over the world. The Red Cross also offers training in life-saving skills including First Aid and CPR.

If you would like to learn more about the Red Cross and its work in the Louisville community, please attend one of our free Crossing Paths luncheons at the Louisville Area Chapter, 510 E. Chestnut Street. The luncheons are held at noon the second Wednesday of each month and are open to the public. Food is served at noon followed by a presentation and tour of the Louisville Area Chapter. The program wraps up at 1pm. Below is a list of upcoming dates.
