Was it courage or simply duty that called to them? Here at the American Red Cross, Galveston County Chapter Plaque, we remember a legacy of compassion. In 1900 a devastating hurricane ripped through Galveston. Clara Barton, the very founder of the American Red Cross, arrived within days. She brought personnel, supplies, and hope itself in the form of relief funds. The American Red Cross, Galveston County Chapter Plaque commemorates not just this single act, but a legacy of service. It was formally established in 1916. The heart of this story lies with the Galveston women who formed a Red Cross auxiliary. They faced down disaster to bring aid to their shattered city. This plaque, placed in 1994, stands as a testament to their unwavering spirit, a spirit that echoes through the countless relief efforts the chapter has spearheaded ever since.
