Task-based Volunteering:

Sometimes we need a task of a few hours to be completed, instead of a permanent or semi-permanent position. We have found that these tasks generally fall into one of the following categories:

  1. call (list or follow-up)
  2. use social media
  3. enter data (any speed)
  4. edit
  5. be creative (art & authoring)
  6. distribute (posters, brochures, etc.)
  7. fundraise
  8. take photos or video
  9. sort and/or file (maps, documents, etc.)
  10. do repetitive activities (stickers, stamping, mailings, etc.)
  11. be social (greeter, activities, etc.)
  12. present on Red Cross subjects
  13. do maintenance or light construction
  14. search on the computer for info we need
  15. clean

We’d like to invite you to volunteer with us for one of these short-term tasks or projects. See contact information below. All volunteers working with the Red Cross for 3 days or more must complete a background check and orientation.

If you are interested in any of these opportunities or have questions please call us at (563)242-5223 or email us at info@gatewayredcross.org
