    Description

    Looking for an active volunteer role? Have we got a deal for you! Hit the road for a drive and save lives in the process.

    Community Blood Center is looking for volunteers with safe driving records to help deliver life-saving blood, plasma and platelets from our Kansas City headquarters for critically-ill patients in hospitals within a 3-hour radius of Kansas City.

    Deliveries range from 2-7 hours, round trip. We provide the training, background check, vehicle, fuel and fun-you bring the time and dedication. Join us today!

    To become a Volunteer Driver, you need to be at least 21 years of age, pass a background check, DMV review and drug screen. Drivers must be able to lift 35 lbs.

    Kansas law requires a standard drivers license while Missouri residents must have a Class E license or higher (we reimburse the cost to obtain a Class E license after 6 months of service).

    New volunteer drivers do a training ride-along with an experienced volunteer driver before taking on their first delivery.

    For more information, contact Volunteer Services at (816) 968-4079 or apply at https://www.savealifenow.org/support-us/volunteer/
