Facts About the American Red Cross in World War I
The American Red Cross operates twenty dispensaries in the French Army Zone to aid families and troops. It houses and feeds thousands of children in the War Zone and divides it into six districts with workers supplying utensils, beds, food, and clothing. It provides shelter by builders and ready-to-assemble buildings and runs an artificial limb factory outside Paris. It ships daily to Paris and reships to branch warehouses across France, aided by a vast volunteer network funded by memberships and contributions. It serves military and civil relief across war-torn allied countries and plans global restoration efforts.
