The American Red Cross is only successful because of the hundreds of thousands of volunteers across the nation who give of themselves every day. Not only do our clients benefit from the work of volunteers, the volunteers have the opportunity to give back to their communities, learn new skills, practice what they learn, and teach others.The NH West Chapter has over 500 active volunteers and we are always recruiting.
