The lifesaving mission of the Red Cross continues even during this pandemic. Here are a few of the changes we've put into place and some ways you and your organizations can get involved.
Our need for volunteers is constant and continues to evolve as we navigate this health crisis. Please rest assured that we are working with public health officials to help keep local communities and our volunteer safe. Volunteer opportunities include supporting blood donations and delivering much-needed services to your community. We even have a wide variety of remote (work-from-home) opportunities available.
During the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, life’s emergencies don’t stop — and neither does the work of the American Red Cross. This is the time to take care of one another. Please help support all of the urgent humanitarian needs of the American Red Cross by donating to Where It Is Needed Most.
