American Red Cross Seeking Volunteers to Fulfill Humanitarian Services
Training classes available for a variety of roles

GREENVILLE, OH (Sept. 29, 2016) - The Northern Miami Valley Ohio Red Cross is seeking volunteers to help the organization fulfill its humanitarian mission. It is specifically looking for those interested in serving in one of three particular areas, and is offering free training in those areas during October. This means individuals can begin serving almost immediately. The three areas are:

Veteran Visitation | In order to honor our nation’s veterans, the Red Cross visits those who live in the area’s assisted living facilities to offer companionship and thank them for their service. Veteran visitation training is being held Thursday, Oct. 27, from 1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m. A refresher training course for established veteran visitors is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 27, from 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.

General presentation | The Red Cross receives numerous requests throughout the course of the year from groups looking for someone to talk about the Red Cross’s mission and programs at various events. General presentation training is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 13, from 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m.

“Volunteers are the life blood of our mission delivery and the way we reach our community”, stated Lynne Gump, Executive Director, “We are always looking to recruit new members.”  All October trainings are at the American Red Cross office in Troy at 1314 Barnhart Rd.
