For more than 100 years, volunteers in every corner of our region have provided hope and comfort to their neighbors in crisis. Volunteers in our community carry out 90% of the humanitarian work for the Red Cross and help us to provide services such as: • Disaster Preparedness Education: Teaching everyone, including youth, how to prepare and respond to disaster. • Disaster Relief: Providing shelter, food, and mental health services to those affected by disasters ranging from home fires to hurricanes. • CPR and First Aid Training: Providing basic live saving health and safety training to all community members. • Restoring Family Links: Internationally helping people to find their loved ones after a crisis. • Service to the Armed Forces: Helping military members, veterans and their families prepare for, cope with, and respond to the challenges of military service. • Employee Community Engagement: Offering volunteer opportunities to organizations who want to get involved in their communities. • Live Saving Blood: Hosting blood drives conducted by the North Texas Region. • Home Fire Campaign: Joining with fire departments and community groups to install free smoke alarms in at risk neighborhoods.
