American Red Cross – Disaster Relief Volunteer
In 2017, Hurricane Harvey ravaged communities in Houston, Texas.

Eager to help those in need, Dennis Stolpner rolled up his sleeves and joined forces with the American Red Cross as a Disaster Health Services Volunteer. In his article “Understanding What it Means to Care, My Journey as a Red Cross Volunteer” published in Red Cross LA Talks, Dr. Stolpner recounted his unique experience. His efforts earned him a Recognition Award from the Department of Chernobyl Recovery.

A proud supporter of the United States Military and Armed Forces, Stolpner has volunteered his expertise to efforts that have supported veterans of the United States Military and Armed Forces. Going forward, Stolpner anticipates continuing his volunteer efforts with the American Red Cross in the way of disaster relief.
