Be Red Cross Ready

Volunteer Opportunities

Hundreds of Washington County, MN and Polk & St. Croix County, WI residents volunteer with the American Red Cross.

Our volunteers work directly with people. They serve our communities — helping people in emergencies, supporting blood drives, teaching first aid and CPR, and delivering emergency messages to military personnel.
