The Red Cross needs volunteers to be ready for the natural disaster season with wildfires and hurricanes. Consider being a Red Cross volunteer. To deploy to a national disaster, as a trained Disaster Action Team member you can deploy and the Red Cross will provide travel, food and lodging for the volunteer's stay at the deployment. There is a minimum of two weeks deployment. CDC social distancing guidelines will be adhered.
Do you have a passion for helping people?
The American Red Cross is on the ground, working around the clock to provide food, comfort and emergency support to those affected by major disasters all over the country. Locally, the most common disasters to which Red Cross volunteers respond are right here in our own community - fires and floods.
There are 2 to 4 home fires on average, daily in the Nebraska-Iowa region. Volunteers are needed to provide comfort, food and shelter. We need individuals to work with disaster-impacted families, We provide needed training. All that you need is a heart to help others, access to a computer, a phone and good communication skills.

Description
Since our founding by Clara Barton on May 21, 1881, the American Red Cross has been dedicated to serving people in need. We received our first congressional charter in 1900 and to this day we are tasked by the federal government with providing services to members of the American armed forces and their families as well as providing disaster relief in the United States and around the world.
Today, as throughout our long history, the Red Cross depends on generous contributions of time, blood, and money from the American public to support our lifesaving services and programs.
