You can help save lives in Central Ohio! Volunteer with the American Red Cross Blood Services.

Celebrating 50 years of lifesaving services, the American Red Cross Blood Services' mission is to provide the American people with the safest, most reliable, most cost-effective blood and plasma services through voluntary donations.

The Central Ohio Region collects more than 160,000 units of blood every year. Volunteer opportunities include welcoming blood donors at area blood drives, serving blood donors in the canteen, transporting blood and offering clerical support.

CANTEEN
These volunteers are vital to our donor's overall donation experience. Volunteers monitor donors for reaction signs and encourage them to donate again. In addition, volunteers serve refreshments and promote a positive, long-lasting impression of the American Red Cross.

RECEPTION
Volunteers welcome and sign-in donors, answer questions and provide excellent customer service. These volunteers often have the greatest impact on donors because they are the first to meet and greet them.

BLOOD TRANSPORTATION
Volunteers provide a critical service by transporting blood from area blood drives to the regional headquarters in Columbus. Patients in central Ohio rely on these volunteers for their dedication and commitment.

OFFICE/CLERICAL SUPPORT
Volunteer telerecruiters, special event coordinators, and data entry support help facilitate the operations of the region's 15 daily blood drives.

When you join with the other 1.3 million Red Cross volunteer and 38,000 paid staff, you are joining a diverse group of individuals who have come together with the common goal of helping those in need.
