Every minute of every day, someone needs blood. The American Red Cross has been
providing the Greater Alleghenies Region with its blood supply since World War II. Today,
we supply over 100 of the region’s hospitals with blood collected from the nearly 200
bloodmobiles held each week.
Our chapter provides the volunteer support needed to successfully run bloodmobiles in the
Chestnut Ridge and New Kensington areas. Our Blood Services Support Volunteer Teams
are filled with fantastic men and women who have the satisfaction of knowing they save lives
each time they volunteer.
How you can help
Blood Services Support is always seeking new volunteers who are looking to make a
difference in their communities by volunteering at their local bloodmobiles. Our volunteers
enjoy a flexible schedule with many days and locations near their homes to choose from
once a month or every week! We offer three ways to volunteer with the Blood Services
Support program.
- Bloodmobile Volunteer Receptionists greet and register blood donors and
monitor donors at local bloodmobiles. Bloodmobiles last approximately 5 to 6 hours
from morning to afternoon or afternoon to early evening. This position is filled with
wonderful and caring volunteers who help make the blood donation experience
pleasant, efficient and satisfying to our donors.
- Bloodmobile Volunteer Schedulers maintain the monthly team schedule by
making phone calls to schedule other volunteers to serve at local bloodmobiles. This
position is great for outgoing and organized individuals who would like to volunteer
from home. - Bloodmobile Walkers and Canteen Servers hold your arm as you step down from
the donation bed and assist you in walking to the canteen table. They also make sure
that you have eaten your pizza, cookie and beverage before you leave the drive.
This position is great for volunteers who like an equal amount of walking, talking and
sitting.
