ORGANIZATION: Three Rivers Medical Reserve Corps

  • 3 people are interested

Three Rivers Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) is looking for volunteers who are interested in supporting and protecting the health of Virginia and their local communities in the counties of Westmoreland, Northumberland, Richmond, Lancaster, Essex, Middlesex, King & Queen, King William, Gloucester, and Mathews.

Three Rivers MRC is seeking medical and non-medical volunteers who are able and willing to support community partners like health departments, free clinics, food banks, DSS, and others.

Did you know that you can be a volunteer for just emergencies? As an emergency-only volunteer, you will only get alerts for emergency activations which may support sheltering and evacuation operations for hurricanes.

Do you have a limited schedule that you want to make the most out of? You can choose which alerts and opportunities you are available for.

The Three Rivers Medical Reserve Corps began in 2008 and currently serves approximately 140,000 people in Virginia's Three Rivers Health District.

The MRC collaborates with local hospitals, local county governments, the American Red Cross, and community emergency response teams (CERT) to increase capacity in emergencies.
