We are seeking volunteers who are passionate about people! Someone who enjoys talking to people, especially on the phone and understand how to make people feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. This person is a great listener and will be tasked with calling our active consumers to see how they are doing, checking in on their well-being or if they have any immediate essential needs (especially important during pandemic). This volunteer will also send people birthday cards or other handwritten notes to make someone's day!
They will be assigned as a Volunteer Partner to one of our Case Coordinators in the Independent Living Division or in our Home Care/Home Health Care Division. Hours are flexible, but will fall within our business hours Monday through Thursday from 8am to 5pm and Fridays from 8am to 3pm. If you are available 2 hours or 8 hours a week - we want to hear from you! Contact us at 260.441.0551 for more information.
