Deploying when out of your chapter's region

As many DOVES are full time RVers, getting deployed when away from your chapter but near a disaster is now easier. If you receive deployment info for an opportunity near you, reply to the deployment email with your location and pertinent info. The deployment team will forward your request to ARC National.

DOVES providing deployment info

Deployment notices are now being sent to DOVES by our own deployment coordinator, Don Klein. Don is picking up deployment opportunities from Volunteer Connection and forwarding them to the entire membership via email.
