American Red Cross -Mohawk Valley Chapter

Volunteers are the backbone of the American Red Cross Mohawk Valley Chapter, a local chapter of the national humanitarian organization that helps families in times of disaster and emergency. The Mohawk Valley runs east and west across the center of New York, and the chapter name signals a regional reach beyond any single town.

Red Cross chapters train volunteers, collect blood and help people prepare for emergencies. Otsego County, home to Cooperstown and Oneonta, depends on that kind of volunteer help when floods, storms or fires strike, and the chapter is a member of the Otsego County Chamber of Commerce.
