— from Sidney Helsten for American Red Cross —
Join us! The American Red Cross is recruiting for volunteers on Orcas Island to join our Disaster Action Team. Help your neighbors by turning tragedy into hope after a home fire.
“Disaster Action Team (DAT) members serve our Island families. It’s very fulfilling to help fellow Washingtonians who may have just lost their home from a fire. As a Disaster Action Team member, you provide the first step for others to become whole again by making sure they have basic necessities, and being there for them after a home fire destroyed everything.” — Ron Conlin, DAT member since 2012 and a current DAT leader.
