The Highlands Red Cross is a proud partner with the Cumberland, Harnett, and Hoke County United Way organizations
Red Cross Services
The American Red Cross International Services initiatives focus on primary health care, emergency response and preparedness, restoring family links, and the dissemination of international humanitarian law. For each of these areas, we promote cost-effective, community-based programs, which target large numbers of people with humanitarian aid that is rapid, effective, and large-scale.

Primary health care - Our primary initiatives focus on reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, and combating infectious diseases.
Emergency response and preparedness - Our emergency response activities focus on relief supply distribution, water and sanitation services, and family linking. We also implement disaster preparedness programs to create more resilient communities with decreased dependence on external relief assistance.
Restoring family links - In collaboration with the international Committee of the Red Cross and more than 180 national societies, the American Red Cross works to locate loved ones who are missing due to war, natural disaster, or civil unrest and send Red Cross messages between separated family members.
Dissemination of International Humanitarian Law - The American Red Cross educates the American public about the guiding principles of international humanitarian law, as set forth by the Geneva Conventions of 1949.
