The American Red Cross

always there . . .

touching more lives,

in new ways . . .

under the same

trusted symbol.

The Sioux Empire Chapter is your local Red Cross in southeastern South Dakota.  Operating around the clock, every day of the year, the Chapter provides disaster preparedness and relief, safety and health education, international tracing and services to military personnel and their families. 

Into the hands of dedicated Red Cross volunteers are entrusted the cares and concerns of all Sioux Empire citizens, and for more than eighty years we have met this challenge and will continue to do so in the future. The Sioux Empire can depend on the Red Cross to be at the forefront in responding to an emergency, in educating the public on disaster preparedness, and in promoting the health and safety of its people.

The Yankton Red Cross office provides residents of Yankton County with disaster relief from house fires, floods,  blizzards, or other types of disasters, emergency messaging from military dependents to their military loved one wherever in the world, and teaching life-saving health and safety classes such as CPR, First Aid, swimming lessons and babysitting classes. In 2004, the Yankton Board of Directors decided the office should become a service office rather than a chapter. The Sioux Empire Board of Directors agreed to administer the Yankton office, but with all services, programs and fundraising accomplished by the Yankton Red Cross. An advisory board provides guidance to the activities of the Yankton office while the Sioux Empire Board of Directors provide governance and final decisions. The part-time staff of the Yankton Red Cross report to the Sioux Empire Red Cross. Contact information for the Yankton Red Cross is below.
