If You Would Like to HELP US

If you have had the feeling that you would like to become more involved in helping your friends and neighbors in the Carver County community we would welcome your help. Your talents and interests can be matched up with needs in our Local Chapter. Volunteers work on disaster relief like single family house fires, or assistance at bloodmobiles, or teaching community Health and Safety Classes, or Armed Forces Emergency calls. What ever your interest, we will help you find a place. We also need leaders and Chapter Board of Directors members to provide guidance for our Chapters activity.

The American Red Cross as we know it would not exist if it weren't for volunteers. The Carver County Chapter is fortunate to have many caring, dedicated, volunteers who are willing to freely give their time and talents to the Red Cross programs. Nationwide the Red Cross depends on 1.6 million volunteers. Locally we also rely heavily on our volunteers. We can always use more volunteers from our community.

All Red Cross disaster services are FREE. This help is given to people regardless of income, race, religion, or any other personal factors. In order to provide these services we rely heavily on voluntary gifts of time and money from the local community.
