Foot Clinic is a service offered on the 4th Saturday of every month from 9am-1pm. People experiencing homelessness are on their feet the majority of the time and resolving painful issues is important to them. We are specifically looking for volunteers who are comfortable with touching feet.
The volunteer clinic is coordinated by a podiatrist who will manage most of the care for our guests. Other volunteers work under their direction. Guests are encouraged to care for their own feet with the foot baths and tools we provide. They are assisted as the need arises or problems are identified.
Volunteers are involved in keeping clean basins filled with warm water, and emptying and cleaning basins that have been used. Socialization with the guests contributes to the pleasant atmosphere in the clinic.
We are currently looking for a consistent volunteer to manage the logistical side of our clinic:
*Does not have to be someone with medical experience*
- Assisting in setup and management of foot clinic volunteers
- Notifying Volunteer Coordinator on low inventory items
- Greeting guests and assigning them to a footcare station
- Assisting identifying areas of improvement in foot clinic initiative
This is a great opportunity to work with people in Chicago, that really need your support and time. Whether you have experience working in this industry, or are just keen to volunteer, we are hoping to hear from you.
If you're interested in this opportunity to volunteer please contact Volunteer Coordinator Paulina Guerra at cffvco@gmail.com
