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 more people rely on the Red Cross for help, the need for compassionate volunteers has never been greater.

Volunteers help comfort and support people who are forced from their homes due to fires, storms and other emergencies, so they don’t have to face tough times alone. Join us and turn your compassion into action by becoming a volunteer today. We are actively recruiting for these critical volunteer roles:

Shelter Support Team: During large disasters, you can support the day-to-day activities within a shelter which may include working in reception, registration, feeding, dormitory, information or other areas within a shelter. Free online training will be provided. If the need arises, volunteers are asked to commit to multiple local shifts of 4-12 hours each. For those able to travel outside of their local area, a commitment of at least 14 consecutive days, working 8- or 12-hour shifts is required.

Disaster Health Services Team: During large disasters, you can use your professional skills as a licensed healthcare provider to deliver hands on care and education to shelter residents. Free online training will be provided and can count towards nursing continuing education units. If the need arises, volunteers are asked to commit to multiple local shifts of 4-12 hours each. For those able to travel outside of their local area, a commitment of at least 10-14 consecutive days, working 8- or 12-hour shifts is required. Qualified licenses include RN, LPN, LVN, EMT, Paramedic, MD, DO, PA, NP, APRN. Only RNs have full scope of practice.

Disaster Action Team: While big hurricanes and wildfires get the most news coverage, smaller disasters are no less devastating to the families affected. Most of the 60,000 emergencies that the Red Cross responds to each year are smaller disasters like home fires. 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. We supply all the training you need.

When a large-scale disaster impacts a community, multiple agencies and resources are needed to walk alongside them to provide response and recovery support. As a Community Engagement & Partnerships (CEP) Service Associate you’ll connect with local partners to build capacity, coordinate activities, integrate expertise, and ensure that all disaster-affected communities, including traditionally underserved populations, have access to Red Cross services.

Your volunteer role involves implementing the CEP plan, engaging with organizations, and supporting multi-agency collaborative efforts to promote regional engagement and inclusive partnerships.

Step into action when disaster hits — help set up shelters and serve those in need.

Be there when help can't wait. Join the Red Cross as a Shelter Team volunteer and play a vital role in supporting individuals and families affected by disasters.

Shelter volunteers help ensure that those displaced by emergencies have a safe place to stay, a warm meal, and compassionate support. Whether setting up shelters, distributing supplies, or assisting with meals, your presence brings comfort and stability during uncertain times.

Why It Matters:

When disaster strikes, safe shelter is one of the most urgent needs. Your time and care can help families begin to recover and rebuild. Shelter volunteers are often the first face of hope people see after crisis — and that matters.

Apply now: www.redcross.org/volunteer or contact your local chapter at JoinUsNW@redcross.org.

When housing is disrupted in communities after a disaster it can be difficult for some people to find new long-term housing. The Shelter Resident Transition Service Associates help shelter residents create personalized plans to overcome roadblocks and transition to sustainable housing solutions. They play a critical role in reducing disaster-caused displacement and aiding in long-term recovery for individuals.

Do you have the flexibility to deploy for two weeks to support communities impacted by disaster? The Red Cross is looking to train willing individuals 18 and older who want to alleviate human suffering by shortening the time of disaster-caused displacement. All training and travel expenses are fully covered by the Red Cross. 

To join our team, visit: www.redcross.org/volunteer or contact your local chapter at JoinUsNW@redcross.org

Donations are an essential part of getting food to our partner programs, food pantries, meal sites, and shelters in Pierce County. However, we see a decrease in food donations even though the need for food has increased. You can help by hosting a Food & Fund Drive with EFN! The food you donate will go directly to our 75+ Partner Programs to give to our neighbors in need. The funds you raise will be used to purchase food and pay freight for donated truckloads of food (if you decide to raise funds).

We want to encourage you to collect peanut butter for your drive! Peanut butter is a very versatile food and great source of protein, so we love receiving it.

Invest in Youth has been providing tutoring support to students across Seattle for more than 20 years!

From October through May tutors and students meet once per week for an after-school tutoring session (exact location/times can be found here). We ask volunteers to make a commitment to the whole school year.

Tutoring sessions are held at the student's school, last one hour and are supervised by a school coordinator - support and heartfelt appreciation are provided at every tutoring session.

Volunteers can expect to help students with their homework, read books together and work on math problems, all while serving the important role of a mentor.
