Red Cross Auxiliaries Lead War Effort and Service
The American Red Cross organizes its humanitarian work through chapters and auxiliaries to efficiently support war needs. Auxiliaries may form where no chapter exists and operate under chapter oversight where present. The federation seeks hospital equipment, medical supplies, surgeons, nurses, and volunteer systems to aid soldiers, sailors, and their families amid the war. Hundreds of women seek practical service through Red Cross activities, to be explored in future articles.
