North Central Florida Chapter (American Red Cross)

The American Red Cross organization assists on international disasters, conflict victims in locations around the globe and provides emergency communication centers in support of U.S. military families to process urgent messages.

The North Central Florida Chapter of the American Red Cross annually mobilizes relief to support community clients of single/multi-family disasters in Alachua, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Lafayette, Levy and Suwannee Counties. Also, on larger community disasters and nationwide disasters we deploy many volunteers in response to disaster needs.

The North Central Florida Chapter has many ongoing volunteer opportunities in disaster relief and health & safety. Check them out!

It takes time to develop and prepare members to feel confident in their activity organized to work together as a united team. Stressful times of a disaster are not the time to learn on the fly. North Central Florida Chapter goals are to recruit quality, committed, AVAILABLE volunteers for our chapter. We need your help to make it a success.

• Ongoing opportunity
• Prepare NOW. Train NOW, ready for any emergency.

We train our eight (8) counties to prepare, respond and cope with disasters through school based programs and community education. The North Central Florida Chapter trains our communities in vital lifesaving skills such as CPR and First Aid.

Disaster training is provided free to all to develop new skills and gain experience. We match your personal life skills and interests with your new disaster skills to be Red Cross ready for disaster assignments to help others in need.

Along your North Central Florida Chapter journey, you will gain great new friends and most importantly help others in your community and nationwide.

• Free future training and disaster volunteer opportunities are available with the North Central Florida Chapter in your counties.

Volunteers will always be an essential team life-line partner to the American Red Cross.
