How To Help

Register to Volunteer

If you are interested in volunteering, there are many organizations in need of volunteers during the COVID-19 response. You can find a variety of volunteer opportunities by visiting the United Way website.

Join the MRC

Medical Reserve Corps of Eastern Washington consists of volunteers called upon to assist in responding to local, regional, or national emergencies or disasters. Volunteers are given the opportunity to engage in local health-related programs, such as vaccination clinics, suicide prevention programs, personal and family preparedness education, and community events like Bloomsday that help build community resilience and volunteer skills.

Other Ways to Give

Donate monetary funds to food banks

Why donate money?

Food banks can purchase food at a reduced rate, so your dollar goes further—helping to feed more people. For every $1 donated, a food bank can provide five meals to neighbors in need. To donate, visit your local foodbank online or in person.

Consider giving blood

Throughout the United States, blood donation centers are experiencing shortages. Blood is necessary to provide lifesaving treatments to a variety of patients. By donating blood, you can directly help others experiencing illness or injury. Consider scheduling an appointment to donate.

Is it safe?

Like other healthcare facilities, blood donation centers in Washington continue to follow COVID-19 guidelines to protect the safety of donors and staff.
