    Description

    Join the American Red Cross: Be the Heart of Mass Care Sheltering

    There is a special need for volunteers to support sheltering efforts, especially in our Western New York Region.

    This year turn your compassion into action when you volunteer with the American Red Cross.

    Work in person in a Red Cross shelter before, during and/or after a disaster event. Sheltering Service Associates complete tasks necessary for shelter operations and interacts with clients to ensure their needs are met. Sheltering Service Associates support the day-to-day activities within a shelter, which can include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information or other areas within a shelter.
