Local American Red Cross Joins in Celebration of National Volunteer Week, April 15 to 21
This
National Volunteer Week, April 15 through 21, the local American Red
Cross is celebrating its dedicated volunteers and partners. These
volunteers power the American Red Cross, making it possible for the
organization to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of
emergencies.
The Red Cross is also encouraging people who have been thinking about
volunteering to take the plunge. People wanting to make a difference
should the local Red Cross to learn about getting involved. Right now,
the Red Cross especially needs people who can respond to local
disasters, such as house fires, and help their neighbors in need.
Volunteers are central to the work of the Red Cross in Mercer County and
in communities across the country, as on average, the Red Cross has 15
volunteers for every one employee. These volunteers are people in action
— whether providing comfort to a family whose home has been washed away
in a flood or getting an emergency message to a member of the military
whose father is critically ill.
American Red Cross volunteers...
- Teach first aid, CPR, swimming and other lifesaving skills.
- Respond to disasters and reconnect families separated by disasters or conflict.
- Support blood drives across the country.
- Help veterans, members of the military and their families in the U.S. and overseas.
Red Cross volunteers
are united by their service and the feeling that in changing others’
lives, their lives are also changed. To volunteer, contact your local
Red Cross at Cindy.Skiles@RedCross.org or 724-962-9180.
