Northern Nevada Red Cross honors volunteers for exceptional service
Ten volunteers with the Northern Nevada Chapter of the American Red Cross were honored recently at an appreciation event for exceptional service.
The Northern Nevada chapter serves 87,000 square miles, and volunteers not only serve locally but often travel outside the state to assist communities during times of disaster.
Regardless of where they serve, their contributions to the organization do not go unnoticed. The Northern Nevada Chapter boasts 222 volunteers who worked over 12,000 hours in 2018. “We’re celebrating all our volunteers,” stated Zanny Marsh, executive director. “What happens here doesn’t stay here, it’s pretty impactful” she added. Over 90 percent of the Red Cross workforce is made up of volunteers.
