Do you have extra time? How about a willingness to help those in need? The Red Cross is looking for volunteers! Although the need for blood is always present, they want your body. Volunteers are requested to aid in disaster relief efforts in the southeastern United States as they begin to recover from the last two hurricanes in Florida and North Carolina. The Red Cross reports that widespread devastation is fueling the high demand.<\/p>\n
Each hurricane was massive, wiping out power and homes of thousands.<\/p>\n
Those wishing to volunteer will have to go through training. After completing the training, they will be deployed for two weeks. Disaster experience is not required. The Red Cross seeks individuals with supervision experience and a desire to help others, and those who thrive in a fast-paced environment are encouraged to apply.<\/p>\n
The Red Cross is a safe place for those in need. Volunteers will provide people with a safe place to stay, necessities like food and water, and critical services like mental health support or essential health services.<\/p>\n
