The Southern Maryland Chapter of the American Red Cross serves the citizens living in Tri-County area. Our physical boundaries are the Potomac River, Chesapeake Bay, and The Prince Georges County line and include the Counties of Charles, Calvert and St. Mary's. The chapter Headquarters office is located in the county seat of La Plata with satellite offices in Prince Frederick, NAS Patuxent River, and Leonardtown.

Our original charter was issued in November 1917. Over 86 years of continuous service has been provided by our volunteers. Red Cross volunteers provide the leadership, strength and energy to the chapter. It is though their efforts that we can say...

We'll Be There When You Need Us.

The American Red Cross is where people mobilize to help their neighbors — across the street, across the country and across the world — in emergencies. Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to neighbors familiar and new — the nearly 1 million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross. Through more than 800 locally supported chapters, more than 15 million people gain the skills they need to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their homes, communities and world. Some 4 million people give blood — the gift of life — through the Red Cross, making it the largest supplier of blood and blood products in the United States. The Red Cross helps thousands of U.S. service members separated from their families by military duty stay connected. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, a global network of 181 national societies, the Red Cross helps restore hope and dignity to the world's most vulnerable people. An average of 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services and programs. The Red Cross is not a government agency; it relies on donations of time, money and blood to do its work.
