BATTLE BUDDY Hospice Volunteer

Jun 27 - Sep 25 | Alexandria, VA 22303

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 hour or less 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. Please contact me at Capital Caring, kknoble@capitalcaring.org or 703-309-0289. Thank you!

PATRIOTIC BLANKETS needed for VETERANS

Jun 26 - Sep 23 | Virtual Opportunity

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 and for the crafters who would like to show appreciation to our brave veterans. Please consider sharing your talents with our veterans. Feel free to email Katherine Knoble kknoble@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 Feel free to call Katherine at 703-333-6958 for further info. Thank you for considering to help VETERANS
