Today, more than 1.2 million people volunteer with the Red Cross nationwide, and 40,000 nurses assist in all lines of service. One in every 200 Americans is a Red Cross volunteer. Over 34% of volunteers are people under 25, like Michael Spencer, and young adults are the fastest growing segment of volunteers. This charity was by far the biggest player in responding to Hurricane Katrina, raising $2 billion, mobilizing 135,000 volunteers, and helping hundreds of thousands of displaced people. They need our financial and volunteer support—now more than ever! Don’t just cross your fingers in an emergency, “HELP-NOW.”
