To honor the life of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the American Red Cross of Colorado and Wyoming is calling for people across the country to volunteer their time and talents to help others in need.
Committed to helping all those in need, Red Crossers deliver emergency support such as disaster relief, lifesaving blood, critical services for military families and veterans, lifesaving skills like CPR, international aid and so much more every day.
HOW TO HELP
On this day of service, consider becoming a Red Cross volunteer. Your support makes our humanitarian mission possible. Visit redcross.org/volunteertoday to learn more, including our most-needed volunteer positions with COVID-19 safety precautions in place:
Blood transportation specialists: Blood donations are essential to the health of our communities and although the Red Cross of Colorado and Wyominh doesn’t collect blood, we supply blood to many hospitals in the region. We have a high priority need for transportation specialists to help deliver blood to local hospitals.
Disaster Action Team: Every day people are forced from their homes due to fires, storms and other disasters. Join the team that responds to more than 60,000 emergencies every year — the vast majority of which are home fires. Our volunteers help families with their immediate needs, ensuring they don’t face tough times alone. If you are team-oriented and want to make a difference, please consider joining the Disaster Action Team and apply now. We supply all the training you need.
Volunteer from home (other virtual positions): Help from the comfort of your own home through a wide range of virtual opportunities. Learn more.
STAYING SAFE Everyone’s safety is our top priority, and we are working with public health officials to help keep our communities and volunteers safe during COVID-19. When considering volunteer opportunities, review the CDC guidance for people who are at higher risk for severe illness, consult your health care provider and follow local guidance.
