VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH
Volunteer of the Month
Chris from Norristown, Penn., says, “You’ll never know how good volunteering feels until you give it a try!”Volunteers are needed in the weeks, month and years after a natural disaster. Sign up now to be a CMT One Country volunteer today, and find out how you can help your neighbors in need.
Natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires have wreaked havoc on many parts of the United States over the past few years. Tragedy can befall any of us in a split second, and when it does, the rest of us must pitch in and help. The quality of life for those affected by natural disasters will be determined by one major factor -- the continued response and volunteer efforts of fellow Americans.
CMT One Country and its partner organizations will continue to make available the most reliable resources you need to make a difference in times of crisis. Below are a number of organizations that are equipped to respond immediately to the needs of those in crisis and who will continue to support them long after the disaster has struck and rebuilding continues.
To donate time or money to those affected by natural disasters, visit these organizations online:
