We are looking for people to help the elderly and terminally ill at Divine Savior's Extended Care facility here in Portage. There are many wonderful opportunities for you to give of your time in fellowship and compassion with the residents!
I am looking for people who are interested in "adopting" grand-friends to visit with, take walks with, have coffee with and just bring cheer to. This opportunity requires a short volunteer orientation. There are opportunities to spend time with residents who don't have many visitors or the terminally ill who just want a hand to hold.
I am also in need of volunteers on Sunday, September 13th for the Alzheimer's Memory Walk in Portage. The Divine Savior Extended Care will be bringing a walking team composed of residents and staff. We are looking for volunteers to help push the wheelchairs of residents who wish to participate in the walk. We need help getting them on the bus and walking with them on the levee. Its a great opportunity to meet a new friend. :)
Also, our Recreation Rehab department is considering adding an adult Sunday school class on occasssional Friday mornings for residents that would include singing, scripture reading, and Christian fellowship! We are looking for volunteers who would be able to give of their time in assisting in any way they could with this ministry.
Please contact Jamie Kinworthy if you are interested in any of the above opportunities!
