At the heart of our efforts lies the Alabama Region, covering all 67 counties, and divided into four geographical districts – North, Middle, Central, and South. With a strong commitment to the communities we serve, we have embraced the “One Red Cross” initiative introduced by our esteemed President and CEO, Gail McGovern, in 2008. This groundbreaking initiative allows us to efficiently allocate resources where they are needed the most, especially during times of disaster and emergency.
