Volunteer Spotlight - This Red Cross Month and Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating inspiring local women leaders who embody the spirit of Clara Barton. Today, meet Carla Venditti, who has volunteered with the Red Cross for more than 22 years!

After retiring from 25 years in the tech industry, Carla was donating blood at a local drive when she simply asked, “You need help?” That question kicked off her volunteer journey.

As a blood donor ambassador and volunteer scheduler for Bucks County, she keeps countless drives running smoothly. She brings care, finesse and a whole lot of heart to coordinating volunteers and making donors feel appreciated.

“You’re greeting people and making them feel like they’re a million bucks for doing what they’re doing. That’s important because nobody has to give blood,” Carla says.

Thinking about volunteering? Carla has some advice:

“It’s an enjoyable experience. You get to meet a lot of people, and you get to learn a lot of stuff.”
