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.

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.

These Volunteers, using their own vehicle and at their own expense, pick up meals on their designated delivery day(s) each month.  The meals are available between 9:15-9:45 a.m. for delivery to recipients along one of five designated routes.  The meals are identified as either regular or sugar-free and there are anywhere from approximately 8 - 18 meals per route to be delivered.  Each day, a route sheet is provided to drivers that provides detailed driving instructions that identify the shortest routes and safest roads to travel.  The route sheet also indicates which recipients get the regular or sugar-free meals.  Pick up meals adjacent to the kitchen, located in the basement and accessed from the parking lot by an elevator located inside the main church building or through the loading dock door.

Note: On days when Sullivan County schools or Colonial Heights Baptist Church are closed, the service is not provided.

Seen any forlorn Little Libraries around the Kingsport area? Our local book-lending boxes are always in need of an "adoptive steward" to help restock, clean, spruce up and take care of them! These "Little Free Libraries" are great ways to ensure that kids and adults in our area have quick, easy access to free books--anytime! 

Let United WE READ know if there is a LFL in need of some love--better yet, let us know if you've adopted one, or what you've done to help address any issues you saw! 

Don't have a LFL in your neighborhood, but want one? The official LFL site has loads of information on how to build, register, and maintain your very own! Let us know if you add one!
