Join the Movement. Become a Volunteer!

March is Red Cross Month; the perfect time for people to learn more about our mission and perhaps become part of a movement that exists around the world, created to help all people. A member of Benson's Rose Festival Court, Destiny Camara-Fulton (far left), is a member of the Red Cross Club.

Involvement of young people with the American Red Cross is more important than ever. The American Red Cross currently offers over 169,000 youth and young adults with meaningful opportunities for education, training, and volunteer/community service, so they might remain a part of the American Red Cross family throughout their lives.

We often hear people ask, “How can I help?” after a disaster strikes. One of the surefire ways you CAN help is to get registered and trained with your local chapter. Volunteers can be called upon to respond to anything from a local home fire to a large scale national disaster like the tornadoes in the Midwest this month.

We need your Red Cross stories!

For most people, encounters with the Red Cross never go beyond the occasional office blood drive or what they see on the news after a major disaster. It’s hard to explain the people behind the stories, and the very real effect the Red Cross has on those lives, unless you've experienced it yourself.

That’s why we need you. If you've been helped by the Red Cross, in any way, this is your chance to give back by sharing your story of the American Red Cross with a national audience.

Whether you were helped following a house fire or a flood, received a blood donation, were able to give life-saving CPR, were assisted by our Services to the Armed Forces, or are a volunteer remembering a special moment from a disaster deployment, your story is one we want to share.

Tell us how you were helped and what that meant to you. Go to: https://american.redcross.org/site/SPageServer?pagename=ntld_great_stories to find out more.
