One of the first step towards becoming a Red Cross volunteer is to attend a Volunteer Orientation. Here you'll learn about the history of the Red Cross, our mission, what we do, and how you can get involved. Orientations are offered free of charge and are located at the St. Joseph County Red Cross building located at 3220 East Jefferson Blvd, South Bend, IN 46615.
