SPRINGFIELD – The American Red Cross of Western Massachusetts announced today it is hosting a recruitment event and open house on March 26 from 2-7 p.m. at its new location at 150 Brookdale Drive, Springfield. The goal of the event is to showcase all of the volunteer opportunities available in our local community.
Prospective volunteers will be able to visit table displays representing the programs and services of the Red Cross. Attendees can speak with active volunteers who can answer any questions you may have about what is involved. Opportunities exist to respond to local disasters and provide relief to victims including Sheltering and Feeding on larger events, working as a liaison with our partners, assisting with registration at Blood Drives or staffing the reception desk. There are also openings to teach CPR, First Aide and preparedness education or help with various office related tasks.
“The Red Cross provides the training and resources to enable our volunteers to truly make a difference in our community” states Mary Nathan, Disaster Program Manager.
Please consider sharing your time and talent to make a difference in your community and join the Red Cross for the open house. Tours will be offered to all who attend. For more information, please contact [email protected].
