About Us

The American Red Cross has a long history in Eastern North Carolina.  The Beaufort County Chapter

of the American Red Cross received it's Charter from the U.S. Congress on August 31,1917.  Since

that time the Chapter has brought shelter, food, clothing, and comfort to thousands in our area during

times of disaster. The name has changed since those first days to reflect the areas now served, but

the hard work and dedication of the volunteers who make the Red Cross a name that is not only

known, but trusted and respected remains the same. It is because of these volunteers and generous

public support that the Greater Pamlico Area Chapter of the American Red Cross

remains strong and committed to serving those in need. Together:

"WE ARE THE AMERICAN RED CROSS"

The Red Cross

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and

provides emotional support to victims of disasters;

supplies nearly half of the nation's blood; teaches

lifesaving skills; provides international

humanitarian aid; and supports military members

and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable

organization — not a government agency — and

depends on volunteers and the generosity of the

American public to perform its mission.
