Volunteer Services
The Lincoln Way Chapter has over 100 volunteers who assist with
Emergency Services, CPR and First Aid Training, and office support.

As a voluntary organization, the American Red Cross depends on
the generosity of people for both their time and money to provide disaster

The successful work of the Red Cross over the last 100 years
is made possible by thousands of volunteers and the generous financial
contributions of the American people.
