How you can help
• Make a financial donation to your local chapter of the American Red Cross.
• Volunteer and become an SAF caseworker. Contact your local chapter for more information.
The Services to the Armed Forces (SAF) is interested in finding volunteers who are willing to reserve at least one day a week/month to support the SAF Program.
Types of volunteering available:
Military Entrance Processing Center (MEPS)
- Stuff envelopes & prepare to-go boxes w/ brochures & pens, etc.
- Provide 1 – 3 briefings one (or more) days a week about the Red Cross Emergency Communications, have the recruits complete a form, address an envelope. (expect to be there from 1 to 4 hours)
Emergency Communication Follow-up
- Contact families and determine if the families had a good red cross experience and find out if there are additional services that the Red Cross can provide.
Service to the Armed Forces Newsletter & website articles
- Gather SAF information & stories from the regional chapters to submit for our Regional SAF Website.
Yellow-Ribbon & Family Events
- We are looking for volunteers who may have weekends free and would be interested in providing a 10 – 15 minute briefing about Emergency Communications. Prepare and display an information table. These events occur on Saturdays about 1 to 2 times per month. Hours usually last from 8am to 4:30 pm.
Drivers for veterans to/from appointments at Veterans Medical Clinics & Hospitals
- We are creating a list of potential volunteers who may be interested in being a driver for veterans to/from the veteran’s medical clinic and hospital. This would be a one (or more) days per week commitment. This is a program we are currently developing and may not be able to put into service for a few months. However, we’d like to be able to find out the interests for volunteers.
Please contact Robin Callahan via email at if you are interested to hear more.
