Join a Care Team to offer caregiver support; Relieve burnout (Seattle/King County)

 

 

Bring your interests and talents to an engaging volunteer role, in a team of like-minded volunteers. Whether it’s an interest in crafts, reading, or movies, a gift of gab, or empathetic ear, all are welcome!

Help relieve stress and prevent burnout by supporting an unpaid family caregiver
, who may (for example) ask you to help organize their home, plan a special occasion, help with a gardening project, pick up their dry cleaning or spend time with the person they care for while they go for a cup of coffee with a friend.

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."

Join as an individual or recruit a team!
