American Red Cross

In Utica, the American Red Cross serves the Mohawk Valley as part of the national humanitarian organization. People turn to it for disaster relief, emergency preparedness and blood donation, and many of those who run its programs are volunteers from the community, neighbors helping neighbors.

Utica and the surrounding Oneida County communities know severe weather and house fires, the kinds of emergencies where Red Cross volunteers help families find shelter and get back on their feet. It is also a place to learn first aid and CPR.
