Volunteer: Veterans to Veterans End of Life Companionship

Are you a compassionate and caring person? 
We are looking for you!  Caris provides hospice care throughout TN.  The end of life can be a difficult and lonely time for patients and/or their loved ones.  Volunteers can provide additional support to them at this very difficult time.  We have also learned that veterans have unique needs at the end of life that only another veteran will understand. 

Volunteers provide companionship to patients who are located in nursing facilities, assisted living, and homes.  It may be reading, listening to music or playing bingo with a patient.  Often patients in centers do not have many visitors and enjoy having additional company.  For home patients, volunteers provide respite for caregivers so they can go shopping, pick up medicines, or just have a meal with a friend. 

Volunteers do not do any hands-on care (no moving patient from a bed to a chair, taking to the bathroom, etc.).  Caris pays for patient volunteers to have a two-step TB test, drug test, and background checks.  Training starts with a two hour orientation and finishes with computer training that can be completed either at home, our office, or your local library.  

If you are interested, please contact us so we can talk!

Volunteers do not perform any hands-on care (no moving patient from a bed to a chair, taking to the bathroom, etc.).  Caris will cover the fees for patient volunteers to have a two-step TB test and background checks. Volunteering starts with a volunteer application and in-person orientation, completed with short computer training that can be completed either at home, our office or your local library.

Volunteer: Virtual Volunteers Needed to Sponsor/Adopt Deployed Soldiers

We are looking for volunteers interested in adopting or "sponsoring" a deployed service member or soldier. This opportunity is entirely virtual and done independently. We have many deployed troops who have little to no family support, and if you choose to adopt a service member, you are agreeing to send monthly cards and letters to that service member during his or her deployment so that they will know they are appreciated and not forgotten. The care package may be of any size or value, we just want our troops to know that someone cares. We do require a background check for all interested volunteers, since we pass out sensitive military information, including names and locations. Interested volunteers may sign up to begin their background check by visiting www.friendsofthetroops.org/volunteer. Serious inquiries only, please.
