Volunteer for the Red Cross
Every day, the American Red Cross helps people in emergencies . . . whether it's half a million disaster victims or one sick child who needs blood. Our vital work is made possible by people like you, who learn how good it can feel to lend a helping hand. Red Cross "everyday heroes" come from all walks of life. They're all ages. Everyone has something special to offer . . . including you.
You're needed by the Red Cross. Right now.
Too busy? Your local Red Cross can work with you to provide rewarding experiences, whatever your schedule.
Think you don't have any skills to offer? You'd be surprised. And, if you need training, we'll provide it.

We depend on volunteers, who constitute 97 percent of our total work force, to carry on our humanitarian work.
Every year, the Red Cross is there for hurricane, earthquake, and other disaster victims--including 150 families forced from their homes by fire every day.
175,000 volunteers worked to prevent, prepare for and respond to nearly 64,000 disaster incidents last year.
Over 15 million Americans turn to us to learn first aid, CPR, swimming, and other health and safety skills. Last year, more than 230,000 people volunteered to teach those courses.
Half the nation's blood supply--six million pints annually--is collected by more than 190,000 Red Cross volunteers.
Among our emergency services for the men and women of the armed forces is the delivery of urgent family messages--one every 22 seconds.
Over 24,000 volunteers serve as chairs, members of boards of directors, or on advisory boards for local Red Cross units - chapters, Blood Services regions, and military stations.
As part of the International Red Cross Movement, we work to ease human suffering on a global scale.
Don't wait another day to find out how good it feels to wear the Red Cross emblem. Contact your local Red Cross for more information right now.
