Our Chapter
The American Red Cross of Northern New Jersey responds to nearly 400 disasters each year throughout Bergen, Hudson and Passaic counties, as well as portions of Essex County.
Our Chapter services include disaster relief, blood services, disaster and emergency preparedness training, health and safety courses, military and international services, Braille transcription and volunteer and youth opportunities.
With service centers in Fairfield, Ridgewood, Hackensack, Jersey City, Englewood and Bayonne, we have the ability to assist the 3 million people residing in the communities we serve.
Each year our Chapter provides relief for over 5,500 individuals and families displaced by disaster. We train approximately 85,000 people in disaster response and health and safety training, as well as collect 4,600 pints of life saving blood.
The Red Cross is led by volunteers and that is why we are able to make such effective use of donor dollars. We depend on the generosity of the American public through volunteerism and donations.
The American Red Cross of Northern New Jersey is chartered by the U.S. Congress, is not a government agency and receives little or no government funding. Donations of time, money, and blood from the American people make our humanitarian work possible.
Our Region
As a Regional Chapter located west of New York City, The American Red Cross of Northern New Jersey prepares local residents for emergencies large and small. Within our region, we manage six community chapters, including Montclair-Glen Ridge-Nutley, Westfield Mountainside, Colonial Crossroads, American Red Cross of Northwest New Jersey, Millburn-Short Hills and Sussex County. This enables us to recruit from an extensive volunteer base, expand service delivery, and educate and prepare our communities.
Mission
The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its Congressional Charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies.
