"Volunteering with the American Red Cross allows me to continue a lifelong commitment to community service.Inspired by the legacy of the Red Cross Nursing Service, I support individuals who’ve experienced home fires—offering help when they need it most.
Even though I’m still working, giving back to the community gives me a greater sense of purpose and look forward to the day I can contribute even more to times of disaster."
