Engaging
Opportunities
Thank you to
everyone who attended our Active Shooter Training earlier this month. Agent Jerry Stout with Homeland Security did an incredible
job! We will continue to offer different
opportunities to engage and meet volunteers in the coming months, so please be
sure to check your email.
We also have several great
opportunities for volunteer engagement with the Red Cross. We are currently seeking volunteers to help
support the Red Cross for the following:
Community Events, Writing, Fleet
and Facilities, Disaster Action Team, Follow-Up Caseworkers, Front Desk
Reception, Weekly Inventory, and a Historian/Archivist. We will also need over 100 volunteers with
our Sound the Alarm event on April 28th. A brief description of volunteer opportunities
is provided below. If any of these
opportunities appeal to you, please let us know.
