The American Red Cross is part of the largest humanitarian network in the world, whose members all share a unity of purpose and vision of helping those in need. Red Cross International Services supports humane, charitable relief work worldwide, whether it is in response to natural or man-made disasters. It also helps to strengthen other national Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies by sharing expertise and resources. The American Red Cross of the Greater Lehigh Valley, in conjunction with the national American Red Cross, provides tracing and message services for people who have become separated from family members as a result of war or weather-related disasters. Our caseworkers initiate tracing messages for Carbon, Lehigh and Northampton county residents whose families abroad are affected by a crisis, be it a hurricane or armed conflict. In addition, we serve as a conduit for Lehigh Valley residents to donate funds to other nations during times of disasters. We sponsor classes for the public about Red Cross international services and international humanitarian law.
For more information on our international social services, call Cordelia Miller, director of Emergency Services, at 610-865-4400, ext. 226, or e- mail millerco@usa.redcross.org.
