Do you Enjoy Helping People Get the Care They Need? Faith in Action Marathon County seeks a volunteer to help with its intake process. Intake volunteers are responsible for completing a home visit with new care recipients. The home visit can be completed in person or over the phone. The intake volunteer will assess whether the care recipient will be a good fit for our program based on his or her needs and answer any questions he or she may have. Once the home visit is completed, the intake volunteer will write a summary and return it to the FIAMC office. For a FIAMC volunteer application, phone 715-848-8783, email [email protected] or visit FaithInActionMarathonCounty.org.

Do You Have a Gift for Caregiving? Respite visit volunteers provide regularly scheduled visits with the patient and/or the patient’s family. Offer the gift of time to family members of patients in hospice who face the ever-present challenge of care giving. Hospice respite volunteers offer short-term (1-4 hours) respite care to patients, allowing caregivers to take a break, run errands, nap, etc. Qualifications include patience, compassion, flexibility, dependability and good active-listening skills. Generally, visits are made 1-2 times a month and are 1-4 hours in length. We ask that volunteers commit at least two hours a month. Contact [email protected] for more information.
