The American Red Cross Shenandoah County Chapter provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.  The Red Cross is not a government agency.  All Red Cross disaster assistance is free of charge and made possible thanks to the generosity of people in our county who donate their time, money and blood.

Our Chapter is currently facing an emergency need for financial assistance for disaster preparedness and relief efforts. Donations to our Chapter’s disaster relief efforts can be made by calling 540-459-2913.
