    Description

    Offer Friendly Companionship and Chore Support for a Senior Veteran in Renton
    • How would you like to support a senior veteran caregiver in Renton, whose hope it is to find social and practical support for herself and the person she cares for?
    • Would you be able to offer a helping hand with light household tasks or an organizing project to give this caregiver much-needed respite?
    • Volunteer hours are generally flexible, but if you have Tuesday, Thursday, and/or Saturday afternoon available that would be ideal.
    • Plus, you’ll share this opportunity by being a part of a small team of caring volunteers in South King County area.

    Consider applying to the Care Teams program today!

    Volunteer Care Teams provide caregivers an opportunity for much-needed respite and self-care by working together with other volunteer team members to provide social, emotional, and practical support, helping to alleviate social isolation and caregiver burnout.

    No minimum experience needed; Training and ongoing support provided.

    As one caregiver said of her Care Team: "I truly am grateful for our team. Their kindness and their readiness to provide meaningful interaction with my husband [the care recipient] has been greatly beneficial to me not feeling isolated and alone. This week your team allowed me to see people I had not seen since before the Pandemic. All of the team is warm, friendly, and compassionate."
