Our volunteers are our superheroes! Each year we recognize Red Cross volunteers throughout New Jersey for their incredible commitment to helping others.
We are pleased to recognize our Pacesetter volunteers, who continuously show strong commitment and dedication to their volunteer positions and responsibilities within a certain line of service. Their actions exemplify the Red Cross commitment to our community! We also say THANK YOU to those who have dedicated five or more years to the American Red Cross New Jersey Region.
