Area Red Cross chapter changes name

Embraces "Heart of Missouri'

The American Red Cross Heart of Missouri Chapter is the new name for the chapter serving Callaway County and 20 other counties in Missouri.

The chapter was known previously as the American Red Cross Capital Area Chapter.

Chapter Executive Director Dave Griffith said the previous Capital Area name at one time accurately reflected the area served by the chapter. But the area has been expanded to 21 counties and the Capital Area no longer is correct.
