The American Red Cross Club at UC Davis is a student organization. The organization is also associated with the Sierra Delta Chapter located in Sacramento, CA . We are a health care based community service group that provides various volunteer activities, specializing in disaster preparedness, CPR First Aid training, and other various health care service projects!
