Dear friends,

The American Red Cross is requesting volunteers who are skilled in shelter operations to support Hurricane Harvey response efforts in Texas. To learn about opportunities with the American Red Cross visit our blog.

More opportunities to volunteer may be available with Texas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster. You can find a list of those and more at NationalService.gov/Harvey. There you can  also find information on where to seek assistance, should you, or friends and family be impacted by the storm’s effects.

Please share this email with others you know who may wish to volunteer to help Texans recover.

Stay safe,

Kelly DeGraff
