BATTLE BUDDY to help VETERANS We have many patients who are veterans and we would like to have volunteers who are veterans visit them. You would be assigned a veteran to visit. Weekly visits of about 1 -2 hour is typically what is needed to establish a connection and provide support to your battle buddy. Veterans will often not open up to civilians (even family members) but they will to other veterans. Battle Buddies provide our veterans with a much needed friend, someone who understands. In addition, we provide specialized Ceremonies to our veterans as a way of honoring the service they gave to our country. Battle Buddies will gather information on the veterans service so we can read it at the ceremony. We also have special lapel pins and certificates for the veteran which the volunteer can present. We are currently providing ceremonies in person. This is a great way to honor veterans. Veterans often need other Veterans to talk with, they understand the language and provide a "safe place" to discuss issues. Please consider sharing your time with our veterans. They served us, let's serve them.

Virtual Opportunity
PATRIOTIC BLANKETS FOR VETERANS CEREMONIES/RECOGNITION Crafters needed to make small size "red, white, blue" blankets for Veterans. Our veterans served our country and we are in need of these small lap robes to provide to hospice patients who are veterans. The blankets can be quilted, knitted or crocheted in patriotic RED, WHITE and BLUE patterns/colors. We use these blankets to give veterans to show a small token of appreciation for their service. This is a great project for a Scout Troop or a Crafting Club. Please consider sharing your talents with our veterans. Feel free to email CARINGBEAR@CAPITALCARING.ORG if you would like further information or maybe some visual samples to get ideas of items. Any and all help is needed. These items truly make a huge difference to our veterans

Patient/Family Care Volunteers perform a range of tasks centered around providing comfort and support to patients and their loved ones throughout the Washington DC area and/or provide in-person support in our inpatient unit at Sibley Hospital. Would you like to be a companion to a hospice patient? Help a family? Volunteers provide support to patients and loved ones doing tuck in calls, writing letters, delivering flowers, and spending time visiting patients just to mention a few of the ways to reach out to patients. The meaningful work of providing bedside companionship is what hospice volunteers provide. Volunteers spend time with patients and their families to celebrate life moments and overall provide much needed companionship.
