The Red Cross is looking for volunteers in Creston. A few hours a week can make a world of difference to someone in the community. Various positions are available and full training and support is provided.
Those who experience a sudden illness or injury are often surprised by how quickly their lives can change, making everyday tasks suddenly unmanageable. Red Cross volunteers with the health equipment loan program help ensure people receive the health equipment they need to cope with health crises.
The Red Cross health equipment loan program is a volunteer-driven, community-based program that provides essential health equipment to individuals on a by-donation basis. Providing equipment such as wheelchairs and bathing aids can make a real difference to people’s lives.
For more information on how to become a volunteer, call 250-428-5105 or drop by the Creston office at 312 15th Ave. N. The office is open from 2-4 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Volunteers are needed for Tuesdays and Thursdays in order to provide continued service throughout the week.
