    Description

    When disaster strikes, you can help strike back (Pierce Co.)

    We are the American Red Cross. Sleeves up. Hearts open. All in.

    Sheltering, feeding, health services and mental health volunteers needed.

    Due to predictions for an active wildfire season, the Red Cross will need hundreds of volunteers to care for people when disasters strike. Train now to be a Ready Red Cross Shelter or Feeding Volunteer so you can answer the call when your community needs it most!

    We will need volunteers to help support emergency shelters by staffing different areas including reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information collection and other vital tasks. We also have a high priority need for licensed medical and mental health professionals. Will you be ready to roll up your sleeves and help?
