The Red Cross is very fortunate in that people call them to volunteer. However, the large number of men and women who now work makes finding volunteers more and more difficult. To reach more people in the county, the organization has passed out a brochure at their booth at the fairgrounds. They are the most dedicated, compassionate people. Austin Medical Center Pam Terry, customer service representative for Austin Medical Center, said volunteers are vital.
Volunteers run the gift and coffee shop.
They deliver coffee in the morning to those who are visiting or waiting. In the afternoon, volunteers deliver newspapers and flowers. Throughout the day, volunteers act as greeters. We really appreciate them and the time they give up. In addition to being generous, AMC's volunteers also have to be exceedingly trustworthy.
