International Services
The International Red Cross movement was founded on the principles of Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity and Universality.
The St. Joseph County Chapter supports these principles by:
- Responding to international tracing requests
- Striving to increase understand and support for International Humanitarian Law and the Geneva Conventions
- Promoting international disaster fundraising
- Refugee Services
*Refugee Services is one of the St. Joe ARC's largest local activities. As of 2010, the American Red Cross has partnered with Church World Service to become an official resettlement agency. Please view our Refugee Services page to see just how we help, and read some success stories to see the impact that the Red Cross is making*
