American Red Cross of Greater Columbus

I started volunteering for the Red Cross this summer and had no idea just how many services they provided the community — both local and statewide.
Last year, Red Cross volunteers responded to 365 local disasters and assisted 470 familes. On top of that, more than 46,000 local residents were trained in CPR and similar life-​saving courses. They’ve also got programs in place to help military members communicate with their families, educate the public on emergency preparedness and transport seniors and people with disabilities to appointments.
Everyone that I’ve worked with so far has been phenomenal — very positive, compassionate and uplifting. They’ve got tons of volunteer opportunities: disaster response, drivers, presenters, advocates, instructors, etc.
Very glad I got involved and I recommend you do the same.
