Volunteer
Delta Blood Bank has many ways for volunteers to assist in our daily activities and make a real difference. Our volunteers are a select and motivated group of individuals who support their community in a special and meaningful way. Many of our volunteers have been donating their time and supporting Delta Blood Bank for a number of years.
Our volunteer activities include volunteering at our blood centers and blood drives and assisting donors following their blood donation. It is important that donors feel comfortable and appreciated. In most cases, the volunteer is the last contact the donor makes with our organization before leaving our centers. With the volunteer’s help, the donor will leave feeling special and return in 56 days to make another donation. Volunteer responsibilities:
- Greet donors as they arrive from donor room
- Instruct the donor to stay for 15 minutes
- Serve at least two cups of fluid and various snacks
- Watch for signs of donor reaction
- Ask the donor to complete a reminder card
- Thank the donor as he/she leaves and ask them to return in 56 days
Other important volunteer services include blood transportation from the various sites to our laboratory in Stockton, office support and community development.
We are currently seeking more volunteer drivers in Ceres, Modesto, Turlock, Tracy and Lodi. Duties include transporting blood from our local sites to our laboratory in Stockton. Mileage is reimbursed.
