In 1905, the American Red Cross (ARC) was chartered by the United States Congress to provide two services: disaster relief and services to members of the United States Armed Forces. Service to the Armed Forces (SAF) is the worldwide program through which the ARC provides emergency communications and other services to the members of the United States Armed Forces and their families. SAF is a "medium of communication between the people of the United States and the Armed forces". The humanitarian services of the ARC are delivered to members of the Armed Forces and their families by paid and volunteer staff. Mission of SAF:
