By volunteering with the American Red Cross in Northern Ohio, you will be the “hands and heart” of our mission by alleviating human suffering in the face of emergencies. Volunteers assist individuals with comfort, care, and hope in the community, leading the Red Cross mission in preparedness, response and recovery and helping residents affected by fires, floods, storms, other disasters. You can also make a significant contribution staffing a blood drive, transporting lifesaving blood collection and deliveries, and supporting members of the military and their family.
