    Ever wanted to save a life?

As a Driver, you will deliver pre-packaged blood products from a Red Cross center to hospitals, using a Red Cross vehicle. 

    Why is this position important?

    When you deliver blood products to a hospital, you’re delivering hope to a person when they need it most. We serve cancer patients, premature babies, trauma victims, and so many more.

    Time commitment:1 shift/month (typical shift = 4 hours)

    Shifts available 7 days/week, mornings, afternoons, and evenings

    • Valid driver's license
    • Feel and being healthy
