The Red Cross of the Chesapeake Region is in dire need of Spanish speaking volunteers to help during times of disasters. The Red Cross provides relief to any person in need but often language differences can be a barrier in getting the specific kind of help our clients request to them as quickly as possible. American Red Cross Disaster Action Team volunteers provide emergency relief such as food, clothing and shelter nearly 3 times every day when disasters strike
