volunteers needed

Mara Rouse is a volunteer recruitment specialist with the American Red Cross. She helps connect volunteers in Klamath, Lake, and the surrounding counties across southern and central Oregon to serve their community through one of our lines of service. They are looking for volunteers to help work in one of their shelters.

For more information on this volunteer opportunity, read Mara’s letter below.


As we know wildfire season is here. With the Bootleg and Jack fires currently burning, we are looking to partner with different local organizations to help serve our community. As we know, a disaster is ever changing and growing. On the horizon, we are looking for volunteers to commit time to work in one of our shelters. The time frame would be 7 days, with travel, food, and housing covered. We will make sure that whoever sent our way is taken care of while they take care of others. I would love to give a 15- to 30-minute orientation presentation to whomever is interested in volunteering.

I understand that this commitment may not match with individuals’ availability, but we have other ways to help support our communities through our Blood Services, Service to the Armed Forces, and International Services. I would be happy to talk to anyone in your congregation who is interested any Red Cross volunteer opportunity to explain more.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could share this with your congregation to help spread awareness of volunteer opportunities.

Best,
Mara
