CONCORD, NH — The American Red Cross is a workforce that is made up of a 90 percent volunteer staff. Volunteers from all walks of life with varying experiences bring their talent and compassion to help deliver the Red Cross Mission – to alleviate suffering.
In the New Hampshire and Vermont region, the Red Cross deploys volunteers to respond to disasters that displace families, on average, every 17 hours. A strong corps of volunteers trained to deliver comfort and care is priority to ensure that no family goes without.
The need for volunteers across the region is critical. While pockets of dedicated volunteers continue to support the residents in their territories around our two states, more hands are needed for the work that the Red Cross does here in New Hampshire and Vermont.
