Despite the recession, the Red Cross of Southern Arizona has not laid off any workers or cut any services, said Executive Director Richard White.
He cited generous donors, who continue to give money despite the hard times, and a strong volunteer base as the reasons.
"We have a wonderful volunteer base that helps with emergency victims, military communication and teaching first aid, CPR and water safety classes," White said Saturday.
