The American Red Cross Movement started more than a century ago in the battlefields when Clara Barton voluntarily tended to fallen soldiers during the Civil War. Today, we continue to provide services to the military by trained volunteers. Our Morgan County chapter has continued to provide this service since it was chartered in August, 1917.
