It received its first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/about-us\/who-we-are\/history\/federal-charter.html\">congressional charter<\/a> in 1900 and to this day it is tasked by the federal government with providing services to members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/about-us\/our-work\/military-families.html\">American armed forces and their families<\/a> as well as providing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/about-us\/our-work\/disaster-relief.html\">disaster relief in the United States<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/about-us\/our-work\/international-services.html\">around the world<\/a>. In 2021, the Red Cross celebrated 140 years of compassionate service. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/about-us\/who-we-are\/history\/red-cross-anniversary.html\">Learn how they commemorated their anniversary<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even while the Red Cross adapts to meet the changing needs of the people they serve, they always stay true to those roots.

In fact, as you read this Red Cross staff and volunteers are still deploying alongside America\u2019s military. Maybe you\u2019ve taken a class through the Red Cross, such as first aid certification or how to swim. Did you know they\u2019ve been offering similar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/about-us\/our-work\/training-education.html\">training since the early 1900s<\/a>?
