Serve Those Who Served: Be a Presence of Comfort and Care

Bring comfort. Share kindness. Make a difference for our nation’s heroes.

Every hero deserves to feel seen, supported, and cared for — especially when they’re facing medical treatment, recovery, or long hospital days far from home. As a Military Treatment Facility Clinic Volunteer with the American Red Cross, you can be that source of strength and humanity.

You won’t just be helping in a clinic — you’ll be easing anxiety, lifting spirits, and showing appreciation in the most personal and compassionate way possible.

Your Role: A Touch of Hope in a Clinical Setting

This unique volunteer opportunity supports the Service to the Armed Forces mission, working alongside medical staff in military hospitals and clinics. You’ll help create a warm, welcoming atmosphere while supporting critical behind-the-scenes tasks that keep things running smoothly.

Your duties may include:

• Greet and assist patients and visitors
• Providing comfort items and bedside support
• Helping with administrative tasks like answering phones, data entry, or filing
• Assisting in clinical areas with tasks like charting, prepping rooms, or transporting items
• Delivering welcome packets to wounded warriors and showing them, they are never forgotten
• Offering a friendly face and a listening ear to those who’ve sacrificed so much

Time Commitment & Training

• Volunteer for at least 6 months
• Flexible shifts available based on clinic needs
• Full training provided, including:
  • American Red Cross orientation
  • HIPAA & privacy training
  • Military clinic procedures & in-service education

Note: Additional security clearance may be required based on the facility.

What You Bring to the Role

• A respectful and calm presence — especially in high-stress situations
• A deep appreciation for military members and their families
• Strong communication and listening skills
• Basic administrative or clinical support skills (training provided)
• Ability to stand for extended periods and navigate a medical setting
• Commitment to confidentiality and professionalism

Why This Work Matters

In every smile you share, every form you file, every comfort item you hand out — you remind our service members they are valued. You represent a grateful nation. And you help ensure that no one walks through recovery alone.
