It’s easy to get involved with the Red Cross in Northwest Arkansas. Local opportunities include becoming a trained disaster relief response volunteer helping people affected by home fires; supporting trauma, cancer, and other patients in need by donating blood, platelet, and plasma at our local blood donation center; and learning CPR, First AID, and other lifesaving skills that will prepare you to respond to emergencies.
The best way to provide immediate relief to your neighbors facing emergency situations is through a monetary donation. Our disaster assistance programs rely heavily on the generous financial support of citizens in the Arkansas region. Even if you only have a few dollars to spare, your donation to the American Red Cross disaster relief will make a significant difference in the lives of those facing disasters. Make a one-time donation today either online, by phone, or by mail, or set up a recurring monthly donation to make an even bigger difference.
The humanitarian work that we do at American Red Cross would not be possible without our volunteers. We have a variety of disaster relief volunteer opportunities available, as well as potential positions focused on facility management, health and safety, service to the Armed Forces, and professional specialties like photography, IT, and more. Check out our current volunteer opportunities near you in Northwest Arkansas!

A passion for making a difference in our communities has fueled Julie’s desire to work with nonprofits.
After 20 plus years in Southern California working in the corporate sector, Julie moved back to Northwest Arkansas and began working with nonprofits. Julie saw the American Red Cross as a way to help so many of our neighbors across Northwest Arkansas during times of both blue skies and grey skies.
