Every day, the American Red Cross in South Carolina provides valuable services to your friends, neighbors, and communities. We respond to disasters. We teach life-saving skills. We prepare our communities.
Volunteers are involved in every aspect of the Red Cross mission. Did you know that 96% of the Red Cross team consists of volunteers?
Red Cross volunteers perform such critical services as helping victims of fires, floods, storms and other disasters; staffing blood drives; serving as a Red Cross representative at community events; supporting members of the military; and providing lifesaving training in CPR and water safety. Others help the organization with office work, event planning, media relations and much. Volunteers are a part of everything we do, and there's a volunteer opportunity for everyone.
