The American Red Cross of Northeastern New York (ARCNENY) is a humanitarian organization that provides relief to victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. Although nationally charted by Congress in 1905 to provide disaster relief and Services for the Armed Forces, neither the national American Red Cross nor ARCNENY is a government agency.
