Eugene McCord is the epitome of what it means to be an American Red Cross volunteer. His dedication to service does not go unnoticed. Eugene has been a part of Red Cross since May 27, 2014 and has served more than 25, 209 hours. He is on pace again this year to reach up to 10,000 volunteer hours. Eugene is always one of the first to raise their hand to volunteer when there is a call for help. He is usually the first to arrive at the site and is usually the last to leave.This year, Eugene has taken on more responsibilities and leadership roles in the Bluegrass Chapter. He is currently serving as the Territory 5 Disaster Program Manager Volunteer Partner, and is the Territory 5 Disaster Action Team Coordinator. In these roles, he has since developed a Disaster Action Team training program for new trainees, engaged in several disaster preparedness exercises, represented Red Cross at countless community meetings and functions, and deployed in sheltering and case work.
In addition, Eugene has supervised canteen services, created and hosted new volunteer orientations, and has served as a mentor for any volunteer wishing to expand their Red Cross experience. Eugene is also a former Bluegrass Volunteer of the Year award winner.
