As the season changes, what a great time to consider how you can change a life. This autumn, we invite you to Fall into Service with the American Red Cross by volunteering.
As more people rely on the Red Cross for help, the need for compassionate volunteers has never been greater. From helping people effected by disasters, like home fires and floods, to supporting the collection of lifesaving blood, you can make a difference. There are many ways you can help neighbors in need through our most-needed positions:
Blood Donor Ambassador: Volunteer Blood Donor Ambassadors ensure that blood donors have a pleasant and fulfilling experience, from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave.
Blood Transportation Specialist: Volunteer Transportation Specialists deliver life-saving blood products from Red Cross distribution facilities to hospitals, using a Red Cross-owned vehicle.
Disaster Action Team: As a Disaster Action Team volunteer, you can help comfort and support people in your community by meeting any immediate needs such as food, shelter, clothing or supplies and connecting them to long term recovery services.
Shelter Service Associate: During large disasters, you can support the day-to-day activities within a shelter which may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information or other areas within a shelter.
Disaster Health Services Team: During large disasters, you can use your professional skills as a licensed healthcare provider to deliver hands on care and education to shelter residents.
