Voluntary service is a fundamental principle of the American Red Cross mission. We are only successful because of the hundreds of thousands of volunteers across the nation who give of themselves every day. The Middlesex Central CT Chapter of The American Red Cross has over 300 dedicated men and women who volunteer their time and energy to help us serve our community.  We are always recruiting and we would love to have you join our team of committed volunteers.
