Here are a few wonderful organizations that could use your help. Each of these has been around for quite some time and does great work both domestically and Internationally.

American Red Cross

This is the grand daddy of all service organizations. They have been around over 100 years and are still doing their good work. The nice part about working with this organization is that their reach is both domestic and international.  You can volunteer for specific events and services or you can become a long term volunteer. You can work at a national or a local level and your time is well spent and truly appreciated. It would be difficult to name a disaster any where around the world without hearing the name of the Red Cross

Today, over 200 volunteers work in 48 field offices statewide, taking victims’ complaints.
