The American Red Cross of Southwest Wisconsin is inviting the public to an information session on Nov. 17 to learn more about how people can help deliver lifesaving blood products to hospitals as volunteer blood transportation specialists.
The program will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at the American Red Cross, 4680 Sheboygan Ave. in Madison.
“Volunteers are the heart of the Red Cross mission,” Beckie Pinnow, regional volunteer services officer for the Red Cross of Wisconsin, said in a press release. “Whether delivering blood to local hospitals, supporting our operations or assisting behind the scenes, volunteers help ensure we can continue serving people in need every day.”
Flexible schedules are available to blood transportation specialists, including daytime, evening and weekend shifts. Using a Red Cross mobile app, volunteers can schedule regular or on-demand shifts.
Blood transportation specialists must have a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance, at least three years of driving experience and a clean driving record.
