They need you - yes YOU!

Caring people make 10-15 Bereavement calls on a monthly basis from your own home or you can make weekly Condolence calls from Samaritan's Marlton office to check in with those who have recently lost a loved one on Samaritan's services and reassure them that Samaritan is still there if they need us.

Samaritan is a not-for-profit, non-sectarian agency caring for people suffering from serious, progressive illness and grief.

No computer skills required. No experience necessary!

Please note: All who have experienced the loss of a significant family member or friend must wait one year from date of loss to begin the volunteer process.

Qualifications/Requirements:

• Minimum Age: 18
• One-year commitment
• Volunteer Orientation and Training
• Ongoing: Annual Education

• Condolence Call Volunteers making calls from our Marlton office also need the following:
• Above requirements, plus Medical Clearance:
  • Initial and annual Tuberculosis test (paid for by Samaritan)
  • Titers to check immunity for chicken pox, measles, and German measles (immunity not required to volunteer) (paid for by Samaritan)
  • Annual flu vaccine
