Administrative Hospice Volunteer-Topeka Area

Flexible Schedule | Topeka, KS 66616

Our administrative volunteers help with several clerical tasks such as: Filing, making charts, creating and sending bereavement cards, assembling information packets, helping with mass mailings, answering telephones, and much more! Volunteering in our hospice office extends the service our field staff and volunteers provide. You help us continue to give great patient care by keeping us organized! This is a great opportunity for a person wishing to volunteer during a weekday. Our office is open from 8:00am to 5:00pm. Volunteers normally work a 2 hour shift each week. Some volunteers prefer to simply be contacted when we have a need for additional help or come in on a monthly basis. We are thankful for whatever time you may have to donate! Due to COVID-19 we are unable to visit patients in-person at this time; we do have volunteers who are making cards or phone calls.

Photography Volunteer-Topeka & Shawnee County

Flexible Schedule | Topeka, KS 66601

At end-of-life, many hospice patients are uncomfortable having their photos taken. They want their loved ones to remember them in earlier years, not as what they looked like in their later life stages. Because many families still want to capture moments with their loved ones at end of life, Elara Caring Hospice created the Holding Hands Forever program. This program, which gives families a portrait of their own hands holding the hands of their loved ones, is a beautiful and dignified way to commemorate those last memories in a positive light. We are seeking volunteers with the ability to make this keepsake possible to our families by meeting with them and capturing the "holding hands" photo. Due to COVID-19 we are unable to visit patients in-person at this time; we do have volunteers who are making cards or phone calls.

Hospice By Your Side Vigil Volunteers-Topeka Area

Flexible Schedule | Topeka, KS 66614

By Your Side Volunteers provide comfort and compassion at the bedside of an actively dying hospice patient. BYS Volunteers provide relief for the family&/or a caring presence to a patient who does not have family at bedside. These Volunteers assist us in meeting our goal for no patient to die alone. BYS Volunteers go through our general Patient/Family Care Volunteer training and then an additional direct By Your Side training. These Volunteers are part of a "calling tree" and may be contacted Monday through Friday between 8am - 8pm. Typically Volunteers receive just 1-2 calls per month to serve and only do so if they are able. BYS volunteers sit for a 1-2 hour vigil and are relived by staff or family. Each volunteer provides their availability and will not be called if it is during a time they have marked as unavailable. Due to COVID-19 we are unable to visit patients in-person at this time; we do have volunteers who are making cards or phone calls.
