Q: Who are Red Cross Volunteers?
A:
Red Cross volunteers may be your neighbors, friends, family members or co-workers.
They come from all walks of life to help people, regardless of race, creed, color or religion.
She may be the woman next door who teaches first aid at the community center, or the assembly-line worker who organizes Red Cross blood drives. He may be the small-business owner who helps a family find shelter after their home burns to the ground, or the spouse of someone in the U.S. military who provides casework services to families on base. She may be the student on summer vacation who delivers meals to the homebound, or the school nurse who teaches Red Cross AIDS education at local work sites, or the chief executive officer of a major corporation offering management skills and encouraging employees to volunteer their time to the Red Cross. No matter who they are, their goal is the same: to make our community a better, safer place to live.
Q: What do Red Cross Volunteers do?
A: The Red Cross offers a wide range of services that are always looking for
volunteers:
Disaster Services
Blood Services
Health & Safety Services
Military/Social
Services.
Q: How can I help?
A: There are numerous ways you can help. One way is by becoming a Red Cross service volunteer. The Red Cross can match almost any skill with a need, or teach new skills that can be used for a lifetime. When someone gives their time and talent to the American Red Cross, he/she is contributing to an organization whose name and emblem are universally recognized -- a guarantee of impartiality, quality, trust, and reliability. For over 100 years, Red Cross volunteers have been there when America needed them. Whatever service or services a volunteer chooses to be part of, it makes the community -- and world -- a better place.
