Special Need!

Bilingual volunteers are needed! The chaos of disaster is overwhelming enough, but imagine trying to get answers to your questions and navigate through stacks of paperwork if you weren’t able to speak the language of those providing help. If you have a heart to serve in disaster and are a fluent speaker of Spanish, Vietnamese, or any other language, please sign up for our Volunteer Orientation! You can be a critical piece in helping provide services and reassurance to non-English speaking disaster victims.
