VOLUNTEER SERVICES

Every day, the American Red Cross helps people in emergencies-- whether it's half a million disaster victims or one sick child who needs blood.

During the devastating 2005 hurricane season, our North Cascades Chapter sent over 40 volunteers to the Gulf Coast to aid in disaster relief. These volunteers made a big difference in the lives of countless families who suffered losses. This vital work, and vital work here at home in Okanogan County, is made possible by people like you, who learn how good it can feel to lend a helping hand.

We need your help. Right now.

Think you're too busy? We can work with you to provide rewarding experiences, whatever your schedule.

Don't believe you have any skills to offer? You'd be surprised by the skills and talents we need. And, if you need training, we'll provide it.

Red Cross has many "Heroes" who come from all walks of life. They're all ages. Everyone has something special to offer . . . including you.
