Volunteer Do and Don't

 

  • Confidentiality is important - respect the privacy of those receiving services.

  • Do not seek to influence political or religious matters.

 

  • Call a client the evening before you see him/her.
  • Dress appropriately.
  • Be on time.  Call if you are running late or need to reschedule.
  • Smile!

 

  • Provide receipts if shopping.
  • Avoid hands-on personal care (bathing, toileting, massaging...)
  • Do not offer medical advice or give medicine.
  • No heavy lifting.

 

  • Use common sense.

  • Call the Interfaith office at 485-9500 if you have questions or concerns.
