Volunteer Opportunities

Hempfield Township Parks & Rec

Maybe you'd like to coach or you find you have some time where you could help at the Athletic Complex or during Community Day. Learn more on the Parks & Rec Volunteer Page.

Red Cross Volunteers

Giving back to the community has been proven to be one of the best mental habits. The Red Cross is always recruiting for volunteers to work at the Westmoreland County Blood Drives and as Disaster Responders.

All required training is free and made available locally at the Red Cross Chapter located in Greensburg. Monthly orientations are scheduled.
