Red Cross volunteer for the Southwestern Pennsylvania Chapter, Pam Frigot follows in the footsteps of many humanitarians before her.

The Adams Township woman is a natural helper and has dedicated six years to assisting those in need through the Red Cross.

“I always think what if it was me, I’d want someone to help out. If there’s a need and I can somehow help, why wouldn’t I help someone if I had the capacity to do so?” Frigot said.

Frigot was inspired to volunteer for the Red Cross by a colleague at Slippery Rock University where she worked with international students.

“I was just so impressed with what she did with the Red Cross, that I thought I needed to pursue this,” Frigot said.
