Volunteers at MCH are essential to the quality of life that residents enjoy, and they are respected members of our community. Volunteers receive informal recognition throughout the year as well as the following benefits:

​

• Free Parking

• Lunch voucher for each 4-hour shift

• Ongoing in-service training

• Use of dedicated locker room

• Monthly newsletter

• Annual volunteer luncheon

Prior to starting their service, each volunteer must:

• Complete an application and interview

• Pass a criminal background check

• Complete a health evaluation

• Complete orientation and training

Supporting residents with a friendly visit may be one of the most rewarding volunteer roles at MCH. Visitors provide conversation, interaction, and companionship. They also accompany residents to recreation programs and activities, or to places of interest within the MCH campus.

These volunteers transport residents in wheelchairs to and from activities, events, and on-site church services at MCH. This is a great way to make a positive impact while also “getting your steps in” throughout our beautiful facility.

The MCH Auxiliary operates two stores on-site. Tapestry Gift Shop offers a wide range of sundries, snacks, clothes and gifts. The MCH Thrift Shop provides gently used clothes, accessories and household items at affordable prices. Volunteer cashiers are needed at both shops to provide friendly customer service and help keep things tidy and organized. Previous retail experience preferred; computer experience required for the Gift Shop.

The resident Hair Salon is always bustling, and transport volunteers make sure residents get to and from their appointments. Volunteers may also assist with scheduling appointments, answering and placing calls, and recordkeeping.

This opportunity is available “as needed” by various departments at MCH. If you enjoy filing, making copies, preparing mailings or packets, or data entry and creating or editing documents, this role is a great fit.

MCH has beautiful, extensive grounds and gardens, and we need your help to maintain them and keep us looking our best. We are seeking volunteers with gardening experience for a weekly shift; groups are also welcome for one-day service events.

The Tech Support volunteer assists residents of Monroe Community Hospital with issues that arise with their phones and other devices. The ideal candidate will have great people skills, as well as broad knowledge of a variety of phones, TVs, tablets, Alexas, and other internet-dependent devices.

Do you have special skills or abilities that you enjoy sharing with others, such as foreign language, ASL proficiency, artistic or musical talents, or hobbies? Please contact us to discuss.
