This time of the year, many of us pause to give thanks for
something in our lives. But for those of us that work at the Red Cross, we give
thanks each and every day for the dedicated people in our lives that make our
mission possible: Volunteers.
Our volunteers choose to generously donate their time,
skills, and passion because they believe in our mission. They want to help us,
help those in need, and help each other.
It’s because of our volunteers that we are able to respond
when a fire department calls us to help a family in the middle of the night.
It’s because of them that we can connect members of the military and their
families in times of crisis and in joy. Without our volunteers the Red Cross
could not provide life-saving blood to local hospitals. Volunteers teach our
community what to do in an emergency, from giving CPR to save a life, to
helping feed and shelter those affected by disasters.
On this Thanksgiving Day, all of us at the Red Cross want to
deliver a sincere “THANK YOU” to our amazing volunteers, partners, and donors,
all of whom make it possible to help our friends, neighbors, and communities in
times of need.
