About the American Red Cross

When America experienced the largest natural disaster in our history - Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 - the American Red Cross was there. In response to this unprecedented Hurricane Season, the American Red Cross provided over 3.4 million overnight stays in our shelters and more than 26.3 million meals for Americans in the affected areas. When America needed volunteers, the American Red Cross provided more than 211,000 trained workers from 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia.

Meanwhile, your local Red Cross chapter in Halifax and Charlotte County, continued to respond to local disasters, including house and apartment fires, provided emergency housing, food for the victims and relief workers, and vouchers for clothing and prescriptions. When the need is there, we help local families get re-established in another apartment or rental home and provide mental health counseling.

Being prepared is important now more than ever. The Halifax-Charlotte County Chapter of the American Red Cross provides training in First Aid, CPR/AED, Disaster Response, Water Safety, Lifeguarding ,and Babysitting. Since July 2001, your local chapter trained more than 9,300 individuals in this community. During the last six years, the chapter has sponsored 248 blood drives, collecting over 11,200 units of whole blood in Halifax and Charlotte County. Do you know someone in the military? Your local Red Cross chapter assists soldiers and their families before, during, and after they are deployed for active duty. The Halifax-Charlotte County Chapter has handled more than 340 military cases since July, 2001. During the same time period, over 480 individuals have been assisted after their homes were destroyed by fire.

Because of You, your local Red Cross continues to provide all of these lifesaving and critical programs and services. We need your support - our local friends and neighbors - to provide for the local needs in our community through financial gifts and gifts of volunteer time. Our local Red Cross Chapter is funded solely by generous individuals and organizations right here in Halifax and Charlotte County. It costs approximately $203 per day, $1,423 per week, or $6,167 per month to operate our local chapter. We hope we can count on your generous support. Thank you!

About DOVES Inc.

Doves, Inc. began in 1980 by providing services to victims of domestic violence. In response to the crisis caused by sexual assault, additional services were started in 1985. As the reported incidents of domestic violence increased, the shelter opened it's doors to families in crisis in 1988. Doves, Inc. was built by the compassion of a community and the commitment of volunteers. Throughout the years, additions have been made to that solid foundation and the results are a growing staff and a shelter with the capacity to house sixteen.
