It's what we do. The American Red Cross works within our community providing disaster relief and teaching lifesaving skills such as disaster preparedness, CPR and First Aid, and Lifeguard Training. We couldn't do it all without the many dedicated individuals who give of their time and talents to continue our mission of helping others prevent, prepare for and respond to life's emergencies.

With your help, the promise of neighbor helping neighbor in times of trouble becomes a reality and our communities become safer places to live. We can match your skills and interests with our need for volunteers. There is a place for you at the American Red Cross.

For more information or to inquire about our current volunteer opportunities, please contact our Volunteer Services Director.
