Volunteer: Do you have an hour a month to move some tables and chairs? You can set up the room for our Red Cross blood drives!Do you have about 90 minutes you could spare once a month or so? (That includes time driving to and from our office!) The American Red Cross needs a few strong-ish individuals or an existing group or club to come over to our office at 1100 River Drive in Moline to help us set up our local community blood drives. We use a classroom for our blood drives so we need to move the tables and chairs out of the way so our blood collection staff can come in and set up beds and equipment. What do we mean by "strong-ish"? If you can lift and stack 2-3 chairs at a time or lift one side of a somewhat heavy table, you're strong enough. A group of 4 individuals could get this done in less than an hour. 2 individuals could get it done within an hour or less. A larger group is great because you have more people to ask when the blood drives fall on different dates and times, and members of your group will have different windows of availability. No training is required; we'll show you what we need at your first blood drive set-up. Let us know if you can help us form our new BLOOD DRIVE SETUP CREW!

Volunteer: Join the growing Red Cross volunteer nursing team at the Rock Island Arsenal!We have brought on our first two nurses and now, we are excited to expand this opportunity to more nurses: If you are an RN or LPN with a current professional license, the American Red Cross is eager to talk with you about an incredible volunteer opportunity at the Woodson Health Clinic at the Rock Island Arsenal. Join a tradition of Red Cross nurses going all the way back to our founder, Clara Barton, by providing excellent patient care at a family clinic for our US Army personnel at the Arsenal. The time commitment is minimal: If you can work one 5-hour shift per week, you will help meet the needs of the patients who rely on the clinic. This is an ideal opportunity for retired nurses or nurses who are working part-time. If you want to give back to our military service members and continue to hone your clinical skills, we want to meet you and see if this is a great mutual fit. Volunteers would work under the supervision of the officer-in-charge at the clinic, who is a Family Nurse Practitioner.

Volunteer: Help your neighbors on their worst day! Respond to home fires.When disaster strikes our neighbors here in the Quad Cities, Red Cross Disaster teams respond to provide comfort, financial assistance, and resources. The number one disaster in the Quad Cities (and nationwide) is the single-family home fire. When a family is displaced by a fire, they are likely to be scared and anxious...and our volunteers are there to help. Our local disaster volunteers have also helped QC families impacted by flooding or tornado damage. This is local assistance for local disasters, so no out-of-town travel is required. We provide free training to make sure you know what to do, and we send volunteers in small teams for their mutual safety and support. You decide what days and shifts you will be available "on call." When you're "on call," our volunteer dispatcher will call you if there is a family impacted by disaster who needs your help. If you want to KNOW you are making a difference when someone really needs you, this is the volunteer opportunity for you. Call Connie Dudgeon at 309-207-5266 for more information, or sign up as a new volunteer at: https://redcross.org/volunteertoday Scroll down to Disaster Action Team (DAT) and click apply.
