March has been designated Canadian Red Cross Month.
It kicked off yesterday with a flag-raising ceremony in Fort Frances.
Communication Services Coordinator Ammie Gumany says they're putting out a call for more volunteer assistance.
"We're still in desperate need of volunteers especially for the Disaster Management Assistance program," says Gumany. "We need a certain number of individuals to make up a team. We're also looking to recruit and that training is free."
Those interested can contact the Dryden and District branch of the Red Cross.
