American Red Cross is a social service/disaster agency which has been at the cutting edge of disaster relief activities, helping people prevent, prepare for, and cope with disasters and other emergencies.
Your local American Red Cross office is always in need of volunteers. There are a number of opportunities for becoming involved. There are a number of community outreach programs such as: Service to Armed Forces (Know Us Before You Need Us ) - This program would be perfect for retired military, but is not limited to retired military. There is a community disaster preparedness program where you can go and speak to different groups about disaster preparedness and preventing disasters. Office help - answer phones, organize, assist walk-ins... A very important volunteer job with the American Red Cross is becoming a member of the (DAT Disaster Action Team) This is the group of people who are trained and ready to respond to disasters large and small. In the Concho Valley American Red Cross responds to more house fires than any other disaster. There are times when a large disaster hits that human resources are called upon to help from all around the country. If this is something that you want to do, you must be trained before the time of need.Terms: Car Required - Must Provide Own Transportation. Volunteer benefits are available for people 55 years of age and older.

Mission Statement
The mission of RSVP:
RSVP has the dual purpose of engaging persons 55+ and older in volunteer service to meet critical community needs and to provide a high quality experience that will enrich the lives of the volunteers.
Description
RSVP was established in 1971 under the ACTION program, and has been operating in San Angelo and Abilene for numerous years under the local sponsorship of the West Texas Rehab Center. Part of the Corporation for National Service (CNS), RSVP exists nationwide, in order to engage the skills and energy of persons 55+ years (you don't need to be retired) to volunteer in the community.
RSVP Volunteers receive a free newsletter packed with local information, and free personal and excess liability and accident insurance. The personal and excess liability coverage is provided during your assigned volunteer duties. Volunteers are also invited to seasonal recognition events and parties. RSVP is free to join and is a great way to connect with the life of the city.
How do we do this? We partner with 120+ non-profit agencies in the locality, by annual agreement, allowing RSVP, as an umbrella organization, to offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities and experiences to members.
