Your Impact

Help save up to 60 lives

About This Opportunity

Join us for our monthly community blood drive and help save lives in our local area. Every donation can help save up to three lives, making this one of the most impactful ways you can volunteer your time. We're looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help with various aspects of the blood drive including registration, donor care, refreshment service, and general support. No medical experience is required - we'll provide all the training you need! This is a great opportunity for individuals, families, and groups to come together and make a real difference in our community. Whether you're a first-time volunteer or a seasoned helper, we welcome you to join our mission of saving lives. The Red Cross will provide all necessary training, materials, and supervision. Volunteers will receive a certificate of appreciation and volunteer hours documentation for school or work requirements.
