Remember not so long ago when everyone, except for essential workers, were stuck at home? What if that never ended for you. What if you were not able to get out of the home or to even cook your own meal? What if you had little to no family around and there you are unable to get out with others.

You can make a difference in people's lives. You can take an hour out of your day to make a world of difference to someone homebound. Countless times we hear from recipients how they would not have a meal if it was not for volunteers bringing a meal to their door. Sometimes, the visit is also a welfare check; making sure that person is okay. You may brighten a person's whole day just by chatting with them for a few minutes. 

Won't you take a couple of hours out of your day to make a lifetime of difference to someone in need?

River's Way is looking to form church based walking groups in order to promote physical activity and the inclusion of people with disabilities in our communtiy. These groups work especially well for senior citizens. We have two goals with these groups:

1. To set up structured walking programs for church members in order to increase levels of physical activity 

2. To create walking groups that build social connections between church members and young adults with disabilities

River's Way staff will meet with church representatives to set up a walking group. We will look at best days and times, opportunities for walking indoors and outdoors and any limitations that walking group members might have. The church will designate a walking group leader/contact person. We will schedule walking dates on a weekly or monthly basis. River's Way staff will meet with walking group members on designated dates. River's Way staff will be accompanied by 2-3 adults with disabilities. The combined group will have a chance to socialize prior to walking for 45 minutes to an hour.  We plan to schedule a celebration/recognition event every 3-4 months. 

We are seeking adults with experience to serve as merit badge counselors. Background checks and training provided. 

Our special project veteran volunteers give back to the community in a very special way!

As part of the national organization, We Honor Veterans (WHV), Caris works closely with our veteran patients and community veteran groups. We provide recognition ceremonies to honor their time in service. What better recognition than to be presented with an honorary pin and certificate than by another vet?

As a special projects veteran volunteer, there are some very special ways you can become involved, for instance: 

Hospice is a special way of caring for terminally ill patients and their families. 

Veteran Volunteers can assist our veteran patients by providing an outlet and discussing events that can provide closure to our veteran patients and their families. 

Caris Healthcare is committed to serving veterans by tailoring hospice services to specific spiritual, physical and emotional needs. Our patients are terminally ill and veterans may have a unique need at the end of life.

Caris is part of the We Honor Veterans program which is specifically for veterans that are in hospice care. 

Volunteering with us fits into your schedule. We work with you to ensure your donation of time is used to the fullest.  By being a non-medical companion to a veteran, you will find that being a friend and listening is well worth your time.

Requirements: 

All Screenings and background checks are at the expense of Caris. 

There is a patient near you, at home, in a nursing facility or assisted living, waiting for you to be their friend! Call today!

Caris Healthcare provides hospice volunteers to volunteer directly with patients and caregivers in their place of residence, nursing home or assisted living community. These special volunteers provide emotional, spiritual, and physical support to patients and families.

A few examples of tasks: visit with patient so a caregiver can run errands, help organize photos, letter writing, reading a book, providing spiritual reading or prayer or just be a friend that shows up and listens.

This is a non-medical position and no physical labor is required.

The coverage area is for Washington, Smyth, Grayson, Tazwell, Russell and Bristol, Virginia.

All hospice volunteers receive training to ensure that they feel comfortable performing their requested/assigned care activities. Volunteers determine the amount of time they can provide, but generally it is 1-2 hours a month!

We take pride in our world class volunteers. We believe they are the best of the best! Therefore, all volunteer candidates must pass a background check and TB screen prior to beginning service with our organization. Agency will cover the cost of the TB and background check. This is to ensure the safety of our patients and families.

MyRide Greeneville strives to improve the quality of life for older adults by providing courteous and safe door-through-door volunteer transportation to those eligible for the service, enabling them to obtain essential services and maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life.  MyRide TN Greeneville operates within a ten-mile radius of The Roby Fitzgerald Adult Center.

Volunteers drive their personal vehicles to transport seniors to their destinations.  Drivers must be over 21 years of age and have a valid TN drivers’ license, clean driving record and proof of insurance.  The volunteer's insurance is always primary.  In addition, MyRide TN Greeneville has purchased additional auto, medical and liability insurance for all volunteers.   Both state and federal volunteer-protection laws offer another layer of safety for volunteers.

We ask that our volunteers to drive to a minimum of three hours per month/two rides.   These hours are based on the drivers schedule and availability.   We do not require a set day and time commitment.   We offer training, a nominal quarterly mileage reimbursement if requested, AAA classic membership for qualified drivers and GPS navigational units if needed. 

Help us to build community through physical activity! We developed River's Way/ YMCA fitness programming to build community among people of all abilities. This program includes weight lifting, yoga and walking. Volunteers get to exercise while teaming with youth and young adults with differing abilities. The program takes place at the YMCA of Bristol and it runs from 2:00 PM- 5:00 PM, Monday- Thursday. We welcome volunteers to join us at any time during those hours.

Remember not so long ago when everyone, except for essential workers, were stuck at home? What if that never ended for you. What if you were not able to get out of the home or to even cook your own meal? What if you had little to no family around and there you are unable to get out with others.

You can make a difference in people's lives. You can take a couple of hours out of your day to make a world of difference to someone homebound. Countless times we hear from recipients how they would not have a meal if it was not for volunteers bringing a meal to their door. Sometimes, the visit is also a welfare check; making sure that person is okay. You may brighten a person's whole day just by chatting with them for a few minutes. 

Won't you take a couple of hours out of your day to make a lifetime of difference to someone in need?
