Red Cross, Black Belt Service Center (Montgomery Chapter)

Serving Dallas, Perry, Marengo, Choctaw, and Wilcox Counties.
Our main office is located in Selma; also, there is a satellite
office in Linden, Alabama.

We were an active chapter in Selma, Alabama since 1917. All
through the years, we have been available to those in need
during and after disaster, for the armed forces in peace and
war worldwide; collecting blood for the hospitals throughtout
Alabama; teaching first aid and CPR, with swimming classes,
HIV education and other safety courses.

We are now a Service Center under the guidance of the Central
Alabama Chapter in Montgomery.

Governed by volunteers, our other task is to raise funds to help
provide these needed services. Our main source of revenue is the
United Way which has since 1954 allocated about 50% of our
operating budget each year. The remainder of funds come from
volunteer contribution and cost recovery.
