Samford University Red Cross Club (Red Cross Club)

From the Samford directory, Sep 7, 2026

Alongside the local, state, and national chapters of the Red Cross, the Samford University Red Cross Club is an organization that is not fundamentally religious or partisan, but prides ourselves in taking care of those in need no matter their status or affiliation. In compliance with the bylaws required to be a chapter of the Red Cross, we (as a club) will be required to complete four service projects each school year. These projects include things such as cleaning up damage after a storm has ripped through our backyards, writing Christmas cards to members of the armed forces as they are not able to return stateside and celebrate the holiday season with their loved ones, or participating in a blood drive and giving back medically as our country is still steeped in a health care crisis of great magnitude. The Red Cross is more than an organization that calls your home phone every couple of weeks begging for you to either donate blood or money. The Red Cross is an organization that helps ordinary members of the community thrive and gain their ground when all they know and love has been taken. The Samford University Red Cross Club helps nurture students to understand the goodness and fulfilment of giving back. Our motto and mission statement is the same it consist of: "The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.
