History
In May 1898, more than 100 Utah women organized to provide comfort kits and meals to men called to serve in the Spanish American War. Just a short while later, in 1917, a chapter was chartered in Provo, and so began the American Red Cross’ nearly 100 years of service in central and southern Utah. The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement. For more than a century, the American Red Cross has been helping Utahns prevent, prepare for and respond to personal, community and national emergencies. Through individual training, deliberate preparation, and the spirit of volunteerism, the Red Cross continues to weave a vital safety net for the citizens of Utah. We keep families safe in their homes, neighborhoods, workplaces and communities.
