The American Red Cross (redcross.org) asks Nebraskans to consider giving the gift of time in 2026 by resolving to help people in need as a volunteer.
“Our volunteers make up 90% of our workforce and are the beating heart and soul of the Red Cross,” said Jill Orton, Red Cross of Nebraska Region CEO. “Their support is immeasurable. Their precious gift of time builds our capacity to help people in what can be their darkest hour.”
The Red Cross offers a variety of volunteer opportunities to match one’s interests, skills and availability — from supporting a family after a home fire, assisting a member of the military during an emergency, or helping ensure blood is available for patients who need it.
