I was usually too busy to have any spare time to volunteer and when I did have spare time‚ volunteer work was never the first thing on my mind

The only way for the ARC to overcome these issues is to consider revamping their entire communication structure and promote a more ethically centric company mentality. The American Red Cross has done a wonderful job of helping others in need‚ so now‚ I believe it is their
