American Red Cross recruiting regional volunteers

The American Red Cross Central Appalachia Region is recruiting individuals who are passionate about helping the community in its lifesaving mission by bringing relief, comfort and hope to those who are in need.

90% of the workforce at the American Red Cross are volunteers. Below are some of the volunteer opportunities that might be a great fit for those at WVU Health Sciences.

These are the most urgent needs for the Central Appalachia Region:

  • Disaster Action Team: Help individuals and families impacted by a home fire or other local disaster by meeting any immediate needs such as food, clothing, shelter and supplies.
  • Services to the Armed Forces: Support our military heroes, veterans and their families by helping them prepare for, cope with and respond to the challenges of military service.
