The American Red Cross is looking for volunteers to help with disaster response in Lake City and Hinsdale County. The most needed positions are for the Disaster Action Team and Shelter Workers. These positions will not require a big time commitment unless we are actively responding to a disaster.
The Disaster Action Team members respond to small, local disasters, such as home fires. They provide immediate assistance to our clients, including financial and lodging. Our Shelter Workers will set up the shelter and manage client needs. The requirements are to take training classes and to participate in some practice scenarios. There are several other positions available during non-disaster times that will allow volunteers to put in more hours if desired.
If you are interested in volunteering or have any questions, please contact: Michelle Stubbs 719-496-7733 or Courtney Strother 970-242-6641.
