Community Partnerships

The local Red Cross enjoys a number of partnerships with other local non-profit organizations. We believe in "strength in numbers" and when we work together, we can offer more services at a better quality to our citizens.

The Red Cross believes in collaboration because we know how important it is during disaster response. That's why - while we are preparing to respond - we enlist organizations in partnering with us.  We do this through memorandums of understanding and contractual agreements. We also collaborate on specific programs and initiatives. Sometimes we collaborate for joint funding.

Are you part of an organization interested in collaborating?  If so, contact Michael Adametz at 412-263-3141 or adametzm@usa.redcross.org.
