Police, army, fire-fighters and Red Cross volunteers do a wonderful job. Police, army and fire-fighters get paid to do their jobs and they deserve every cent they earn. American Red Cross volunteers give their time and their services freely, they don’t get paid; they volunteer. (Donate a car now)
Volunteers willingly assist those people who face crisis for whatever reason but one, which we popularly call a disaster. They do this without pay. (Make an auto donation)
Often there are classes they have to attend to make sure that they are prepared to assist effectively in cases of emergency. This is an activity that takes place during their leisure time when the likes of you and me might be sailing on the lake or watching football on the TV. (Vehicle donation is easy)
A Disaster Response Plan requires thought, discussion and coordination so that the right people are in the right place to deal with the problems they encounter. People who can speak a variety of languages are always useful to have around, not everyone who faces disaster can speak English as a first language and when people are under stress they often revert to type when in shock and are unable to master the learned sounds of a language that is in fact foreign to them.

Attending an event that requires the assistance of the Red Cross volunteer teams can mean sacrifice for those people who have families or are in a relationship but they make the sacrifice anyway for the greater good and hope their loved ones will support and understand them. (A car donation can really help raise money)
Throughout this blessed land there are Chapters in every state willing to come forward when the time comes and put in the hours that are needed to ensure that our communities and those in need in other lands too never have to endure unnecessary suffering if the Red Cross can help. If the Red Cross can help, it does – no questions asked. Can you help them?
