Through Diakon Volunteer Home Care, volunteers from communities and congregations of many faiths come together to make a difference—to lend a helping hand in times of need. Volunteers with our program receive training and orientation, excess liability insurance, and may be eligible for mileage reimbursement.

Services are provided on a short-term, temporary, or intermittent basis, so volunteers are able to give of their time as they are able. Volunteer help is non-professional, so volunteers do not provide home health-related tasks, such as feeding, dressing, lifting, or giving medications.

Rather, volunteers with Diakon Volunteer Home Care provide companionship to someone who is alone, visit when family members are away, assist with errands or grocery shopping, do light household or outdoor chores, assist with minor home repairs, provide transportation to medical and related appointments, or simply telephone a person to provide reassurance.

Our services are very flexible so you can volunteer even if you work or go to school full-time. And, even if you cannot volunteer yourself, you can help spread the word about Diakon Volunteer Home Care by letting friends and neighbors know that help is there for them when needed!
