Diakon Volunteer Home Care provides non-medical assistance through caring teams of volunteers from local communities and congregations. Volunteers are trained and supported by program staff, but the volunteers’ special touch is the reason this outreach ministry is so successful.

Diakon Volunteer Home Care services include companionship, letter writing, telephone reassurance, errands, transportation, light household and outside chores, assistance with financial forms, meal preparation, and minor repairs. In addition, the Tri-Valley Team is pleased to offer a Health and Wellness Coordinator who plans, develops, and implements wellness-focused programs for the communities that team serves.

Diakon Volunteer Home Care teams provide service on a short-term or intermittent basis and work in complement with other human services and assistance provided by family members or friends. Because services are offered at no cost to the individual, Diakon Volunteer Home Care relies on the generosity of donors to make its ministry possible.
