Did you know someone in the US needs blood every two seconds? Every day, roughly 36,000 units of red blood cells

are needed in the US. Simply put, that’s a lot of blood that is severely needed. Thankfully, many heed the need and

donate blood. To continue to meet this critical need, the American Red Cross in Cape Girardeau is looking for

friendly, customer focused individuals to volunteer at blood drives in your community. As a Blood Donor

Ambassador volunteer, you will engage donors by greeting, registering, answering questions, providing information,

and supporting them through the recovery process at the refreshments table. The special attention volunteers give

helps create a favorable impression that encourages ongoing donor support.
