Nave Law Firm Recognizes American Red Cross of Central and Northern New York as May's Nave's Neighbor

Posted on May 1, 2026

Nave Law Firm is proud to recognize the American Red Cross of Central and Northern New York as its May Nave's Neighbor, celebrating the organization's 145th anniversary year and its enduring commitment to crisis response, community preparedness, and lifesaving support.

Through its Nave Cares initiative, the Nave's Neighbors program spotlights organizations that strengthen the community through service, collaboration, and meaningful support. Each month, Nave Law amplifies one organization's mission and impact to help raise awareness and encourage community engagement.

The American Red Cross shelters, feeds, and provides comfort to victims of disasters; supplies approximately 40% of the nation's blood; teaches skills that save lives; and supports veterans, military members, and their families. The Central and Northern New York Chapter serves Onondaga, Oswego, Madison, Oneida, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties.

What distinguishes the Red Cross is not only the breadth of its mission but how it is carried out. Volunteers perform nearly 90% of the organization's humanitarian work, responding to disasters, staffing blood drives, and providing steady support to families in crisis. The depth of community participation required to sustain that work reflects the character of Central New York.

This May also marks the 145th anniversary of the American Red Cross. A milestone that speaks to 145 years of showing up when communities need it most.

The region currently faces an ongoing need for blood donations. Summer is one of the most challenging seasons for blood collection, as high schools and colleges — major sources of blood drives — are closed, and travel patterns shift. The need for blood, however, remains constant. Community members who are eligible are encouraged to find a local drive and donate.

Recognizing the American Red Cross as a Nave's Neighbor reflects Nave Law Firm's commitment to supporting the organizations that hold this community together when everything else falls apart.

Nave Law is guided by a clear vision: to make the world a better place by helping solve everyday people problems. Through Nave Cares, the firm remains committed to supporting organizations that create lasting, positive change across Central New York.
