Disaster Services Volunteers- Red Cross disaster relief focuses on meeting people's immediate emergency disaster-caused needs by providing temporary shelter, food, and health and mental health services to address basic human needs. In addition to these services, the core of Red Cross disaster relief is the assistance given to individuals and families affected by disaster to enable them to resume their normal daily activities independently.
If you are only looking to fulfill a set number of volunteer hours, please contact the chapter before applying to determine if this position best fits your needs. (507)387-6664.

Mission Statement
The American Red Cross, a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its congressional charter and the Fundimental Principles of the International Red Cross Movement, will provide relief to the victims of disasters and help people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies.
Description
We depend on volunteers, who constitute 97 percent of our total work force, to carry on our humanitarian work:
Every year, the Red Cross is there for hurricane, earthquake, and other disaster victims--including 150 families forced from their homes by fire every day.
175,000 volunteers worked to prevent, prepare for and respond to nearly 72,000 disaster incidents last year.
Over 15 million Americans turn to us to learn first aid, CPR, swimming, and other health and safety skills. Last year, more than 230,000 people volunteered to teach those courses.
Half the nation's blood supply--six million pints annually--is collected by more than 190,000 Red Cross volunteers.
Among our emergency services for the men and women of the armed forces is the delivery of urgent family messages--one every 22 seconds.
Over 24,000 volunteers serve as chairs, members of boards of directors, or on advisory boards for local Red Cross units - chapters, Blood Services regions, and military stations.As part of the International Red Cross Movement, we work to ease human suffering on a global scale.
