Volunteer Opportunities

Do you want to help save a life? If the answer is yes, please consider volunteering with us. Our volunteers are a great asset to our organization and to the community we serve. Many of our volunteers are blood donors who feel committed to help their community, students who need community service hours, retirees who have extra time on their hands or busy professionals who just want to make a difference. Volunteering for Community Blood Services will provide you with opportunities to make new friends, discover hidden talents and build self confidence, and gain self-fulfillment. Statistics show that the more active you remain, the longer you will live and the healthier you will be.

Volunteer Oppurtunities

A Community Blood Services’ volunteer must have the willingness to learn, ability to work with people and a desire to make a valuable contribution to the community. All training is provided by the volunteer office. Bilingual volunteers are also needed. For more information on our volunteer opportunities please contact Bridget Schindo at 201-389-0429.
