The American Red Cross of Northeast Massachusetts utilizes volunteers in every program and department within the chapter. Ranging from direct service volunteers in five programs, including Disaster Services and Community Health Education, to guiding the chapter's direction in leadership roles as members of the board of directors, volunteers are involved at all levels of a Red Cross chapter. Here at the local Chapter, we consider volunteers to be the heart of our organization.
Our door is always open to new volunteers who are interested in joining our family. The opportunities are endless. Give us a call today to find out how you can help your neighbors in need because...
Together, we can save a life
