As you are well aware, with the current Coronavirus outbreak, we are in more need than ever for new volunteers (in good health) to meet the current challenges that all of us are facing (as several of our current local volunteers have some pre-existing health concerns and we are going to keep them safe at home) for the duration of COVID-19.
At this time, the American Red Cross could use help in promoting a couple of critical local county needs in a couple of Red Cross service areas which include:
- New volunteers (4-6) to assist with local LOCAL DISASTER RESPONSE efforts. Individuals can register and take the on-line training courses at home to learn how to respond to support victims of local disasters. (protective equipment will be provided).
- Virtual “help from home” volunteers (2-4) (with good computer skills) that could be trained to assist with screening, dispatching and social media recruitment needs..
- Local blood drive volunteers to staff our welcome desk and health screener positions (protective equipment will be provided) to support the for on-going need for local blood donations.
