Every day, the American Red Cross sees the heartbreak of people trying to cope with more intense storms, heavier rainfall, higher temperatures, stronger hurricanes and more devastating wildfires.

As a Disaster Action Team volunteer, you can help comfort and support people in your community by meeting any immediate needs such as food, shelter, clothing or supplies and connecting them to long term recovery services.

Since 1993, Helping Link/Một Dấu Nối has helped many Vietnamese integrate into communities through our ESL, computer and citizenship programs, as well as information and referral services. The challenges of moving to a new city or experiencing a new culture are immense, at times even overwhelming. Helping Link is here to pay forward the help many of us received so that families remain intergenerational, connected and united. This source of support and knowledge in a safe environment allowed many of Helping Link’s clients to successfully achieve their goals to improve their English skills, become U.S. citizens and find opportunities to grow and thrive.
