Hear From Our Volunteers

Since MRC's founding in 2009, hundreds of volunteers have given their time, their skills, and their hearts to the communities around them.

Volunteers are the heart of everything MRC does. They are the people who show up for their communities, for each other, and for the humanitarian values that guide this organization. For many, volunteering with MRC has been more than an act of service, it has been a journey of personal growth, of discovering what they are capable of, of building skills and friendships that stay with them long after any single emergency or event. From first time volunteers finding their footing to experienced responders who have been part of MRC for over a decade, each person brings their own story and each story is part of what makes MRC what it is today.
