Join your local American Red Cross for a presentation to learn how you can become ready for your next emergency. Learn how to be prepared and what steps you’ll need to take to make a kit, make a plan and stay informed. Learn what to do before, during and after local hazards
including earthquakes, wildfires, tsunamis and floods.

Learn about the Red Cross club on campus and how you can join us! We will also discuss volunteering opportunities with the Central Coast Red Cross chapter and careers in the health and humanitarian sector.

The Red Cross Club is proud to help organize a Blood Drive on our campus.

Right now, the Red Cross has less than a three-day supply of most blood types, and blood products are being distributed to hospitals faster than donations are coming in. Your donation can mean a positive change in someone’s life. To check your eligibility to donate, please visit https://www.redcrossblood.org/faq.html#eligibility.
