All Red Cross chapters rely primarily on volunteers to provide community services. Disaster operations are administered with a variety of services, Direct Services, Internal Support Services, External Support Services and Administration. Trained members respond to disaster on an on-call basis. The Carmel Area Chapter provides health and safety services for the benefit of the community.
Volunteers also prepare mailings for blood mobiles.
Escort donors to collection area and to canteen. Serve refreshments to donors. Thank donors and present stickers and gallon level pins. Volunteers support activities and programs by handling phone calls, acting as a receptionist, selling Red Cross materials from office, and helping the staff with records, mailings and computer entry. Front Desk volunteers also help residents of our area to borrow medical equipment from the Chapter Loan Closet.
