As we celebrate, thank and honor our Red Cross volunteers during National Volunteer Week, we are introducing you to real Red Cross volunteers who are talking about why they give of their time to help others.
Meet Lisa Ortner-McNeil. Lisa has been a Red Cross volunteer since 2000. Watch and listen as she talks about her experience as a Red Cross volunteer deployed to Washington D.C. after 9/11 and how it felt to be part of the Red Cross response.
Meet Les Orser, a Red Cross volunteer with the Western Colorado Chapter. Les appreciates the support that the Red Cross provides its volunteers, especially when they deploy to a disaster. What moves Les to be a Red Cross volunteer? “Just being able to be there to help them.”
