Authorized Providers

All revenue generated from Health and Safety classes benefits the community and provides valuable services to families in need.  Whether it’s providing emergency assistance for a disaster, providing disaster education, sending an emergency message to a member of the United States Armed Forces, supplementing the fee for a low-income student to take a Health and Safety class or providing education to youth, your support of the American Red Cross helps your community.
