The American Red Cross of Greater Pennsylvania is seeking volunteers to make a difference and support the community.

“We’re seeing both the frequency and intensity of disasters increase due to the climate crisis,” Jorge Martinez, president and CEO, American Red Cross of Greater Pennsylvania said.

“Across the country, the Red Cross is responding to nearly twice as many large disasters as we did a decade ago to help people.

“This uptick in responses means we need more volunteers. The need to help has never been greater.”

Visit redcross.org/volunteertoday to sign up for opportunities with your local Red Cross chapter.

Volunteers can help people in Pennsylvania or sign up to support disaster victims in other parts of the country.
