Become an Auxiliary Volunteer and Make a Difference
“Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
The Kane County Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store’s forty-plus volunteers and are dedicated, fun loving and a fantastic team.
Undoubtedly their secret to success is the love they have for this community and the respect they have for each other. They have a desire to serve in a capacity that benefits their community and the Thrift Store does that in a BIG way. They have fun, they laugh and joke while they are “working,” sorting donations and displaying them as treasures for customers to find. Some even say that it really isn’t work.
Volunteer today and join in the fun! Visit the Thrift Store at 41 South 100 East and fill out an application with a manager. One 3-hour shift once a week and minimum age of 18 are the only requirements.
In-Hospital Volunteer Opportunities
We have several individuals and groups that volunteer within the hospital. The Baker Bunch treats the residents in our long-term care area to songs that stir memories. The residents sing along accompanied by the band, as they tap out the beat and reminisce to the tunes they grew up with. We have the ladies who come in and call BINGO and a couple of gentlemen that enjoy making breakfast for the residents. We are also delighted to have individuals who come in and treat the ladies to manicures or anyone who cares to may find one of the local beauticians present to give him a haircut or for the ladies a new hairstyle.
In-Hospital Volunteer Requirements:
