Our mission	The American Red Cross prevents and alleviates human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors.

Opportunities	Volunteer from Home (Virtual Positions) In times of disaster or social isolation, it’s often tough, and for some, even impossible, for people to leave their homes and volunteer out in the field. With COVID-19 requiring us to practice social distancing and stay at home, it is important to have the option of serving virtually. We have a wide range of volunteer opportunities in which volunteers can engage remotely.

Thousands of blood drives have been canceled across the country, which translates into hundreds of thousands of lost blood donations. We need volunteers to help with ongoing blood donations and delivery. Volunteer opportunities include supporting blood drives by serving in positions such as Blood Donor Ambassadors, Transportation Specialists, and Blood Donor Screeners.
