American Red Cross - Southwestern PA Chapter
01/18/20 • 42 min
The team is back from the holidays and ready to go! This month, Chris, Lisa and Tim are joined by special guests, Jessica Smith, Disaster Program Manager, and David Herzog, Volunteer Disaster Program Manager, with the American Red Cross of Southwestern Pennsylvania. The American Red Cross' mission is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. Emergencies in our area include floods, landslides and, most commonly, home fires. The American Red Cross does incredible work to alleviate pain, suffering and trauma, but can't do it without the help of volunteers, like you. Join us as Jessica and Dave (and Tim, who regularly volunteers) share their passion for the vital work the American Red Cross does in our communities. Whether you are can volunteer a little time or a lot, the American Red Cross would love to have you as a part of their team!

AgeWell Pittsburgh
AgeWell Pittsburgh is awesome! In this episode, Chris and Tim are joined by special guests Amy Gold, from the Jewish Community Center, and Ellen Leger, from Jewish Family and Community Services, who serve as volunteer coordinators for AgeWell Pittsburgh. AgeWell Pittsburgh provides a host of services to Pittsburgh's aging population, with an eye to helping them live dignified, independent and meaningful lives. Listen in as we learn all about AgeWell Rides, AgeWell Reads, AgeWell CheckMates, AgeWell Visits and the JCafe.
