Together, American Red Cross volunteers:

• Assist victims of hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, winter storms and other disasters, including families forced from their homes by fire.

• Provide Community Disaster Education and first aid, CPR, swimming, babysitter preparedness and other classes.

• Translate for non-English speakers so that they can receive Red Cross services.

• Work as nurses offering expertise, care and compassion.

• Facilitate emergency communications between military personnel and their families.

Who Are Red Cross Volunteers?

• We are people who help with a single event or several times a month.  Some of us have been involved in our communities for years, providing lifesaving services and leadership and helping to prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies.  We represent our communities, and we speak many languages.  We are all different ages and ethnicities.  Join Us!

All Across the United States,

• American Red Cross volunteers help save lives, providing assistance to disaster victims, delivering community education courses and working with millions of volunteer blood donors.

• Each year more than one million Americans donate their time and talent, but we need your help to continue to deliver these vital programs and services.

Contact the Big Rivers Chapter of the American Red Cross to find out how your knowledge, skills, abilities and enthusiasm can be matched with a meaningful volunteer experience.
