It's National "Hug a Red Cross Volunteer" Day!

Okay, okay. We made that up.

But it's only because Valentine's Day has just passed and we are still in the mood to show some love to our wonderful volunteers! Volunteers are the heart of the American Red Cross. We simply could not open our doors and serve the Western North Carolina region without the commitment of our volunteers.

As we have over 1300 volunteers serving the region of Western North Carolina, we appreciate the magnitude of what volunteers do, whether they are greeting a blood donor, teaching Infant and Child CPR or offering aid to a family after a disaster.

Wanna volunteer for the American Red Cross? We'd love to have you! Whether you are a professional, retiree, full-time student or stay at home parent, we have something for you in our wide range of volunteer opportunities.


The Red Cross will be having a volunteer breakfast get-together on Friday, March 11^th at 10 AM at the Asheville-Mountain Area Chapter to explain more about the different volunteer opportunities as greeters, special event/office helpers, drivers, disaster responders, CPR instructors. Door prizes and fun!

Already know you're interested? Fill out an application and bring it to the breakfast!

Please contact Cappy Tosetti, Volunteer Coordinator to RSVP to 828 712-0983 or tosettim@usa.redcross.org.

In the meantime, maybe it's a little cheesy, but Red Cross Volunteers, this one's for you:
