The American Red Cross of South Texas is asking people to become volunteers. 

They're hoping to train new volunteers so they are ready to respond at a moment's notice. People can help in several ways, such as lending a hand to veterans or making sure emergency supplies are stocked.  

The American Red Cross says they'll work with volunteers to find a role that fits their schedule.

"Maybe they're available once a month, well they may not qualify for being a duty officer, if that makes sense, because the minimum availability for that role is once a week for six hours, so we try to go based on their need and their availability looks like," American Red Cross of South Texas Executive Director Kayla Gonzalez said.

In-person training sessions begin this month.
