The Fig Tree needs volunteers to assist with updating, organizing, proofreading and distributing the annual Directory of Congregations and Community Resources.

What do we all have in common that instantly connects us and gives us the power to do more? It’s the blood pulsing within each of us. This amazing, ever-replenishing gift is truly a natural resource that, when shared, speeds healing and provides comfort. Lifesaving blood offers second chances and many tomorrows to those who depend on it.

Each year, nearly 5 million Americans need blood transfusions. Blood helps trauma and burn patients, premature infants, heart surgery patients, organ transplant recipients and those fighting cancer, among others. In emergencies, it’s the blood already on hospital shelves that saves lives. Learn more about what makes blood so special.

Donating blood is one of the easiest ways to give back to your community. If you’ve never donated blood before, we encourage you to try! We’ll guide you through every step and answer any questions. Here’s what you can expect, eligibility requirements and things you can do ahead of time to make your experience pleasant and rewarding.

Donation Process
It takes about an hour—from the time you arrive to the time you leave—to complete a whole blood donation. The actual donation time is only about 10 minutes. Whole blood donation is most often given by new donors and is the most common type of donation. We also use special technology  to collect specific blood components—red blood cells, platelets and plasma—from donors to best match current patient needs.

Before you roll up your sleeve to help someone else, please take care of yourself:

Eat a healthy, low-fat meal within two hours ahead of your donation. The day before, eat a salty snack. When you donate blood, you lose about a gram of salt. Replacing it ahead of time helps keep your blood pressure normal.
Hydrate by drinking 8 to 16 ounces of non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic beverages one hour before you donate. Water is a great choice.
Avoid or limit caffeinated sodas, coffee, iced tea and energy drinks on the day of donation.

Your simple, lifesaving action today has the remarkable power to transform lives for many tomorrows. We are grateful you are in our community and we are inspired by your decision to help others.

Inspiring others to give blood by hosting a blood drive is a rewarding way to benefit your community. It’s also an opportunity to give your organization’s members a chance to share in the wonder of transforming the lives of others. At Vitalant, we have thousands of volunteers we call blood drive coordinators, who partner with us to ensure a safe blood supply is always available for patients who need it.

Blood drives can be held at businesses, schools, places of worship, community and civic organizations—anywhere enough people are willing to roll up their sleeves to save lives. In fact, more than half of the blood we collect comes from our mobile blood drive programs.

We have just a few basic requirements for successful blood drives*:

We ask for a minimum of 30 people who are committed to participate in a blood drive. We will supply you with tools to help you measure the level of interest in your organization.
You must have either an inside location that meets certain requirements for staff and equipment or an outside location suitable for a bloodmobile.
You will be working with experienced donor recruitment representatives, who will guide you every step of the way to ensure your blood drive is a success.

If you would like to learn more about becoming a volunteer blood drive coordinator, please complete our host blood drive form below. Once completed, an email will be sent to a local donor recruitment representative in your area who will contact you within three working days.

Join us and, together, we’ll do something amazing to change people’s lives.

*If your group doesn't meet these requirements, please reach out to us. We would love to talk about alternative partnership opportunities.

The Arc's Community Center operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Volunteers may teach crafts, elementary music, math, reading, and drama to members of the center, interact with them socially and recreationally or accompany them on day trips in the community. Our goal is to create an environment of learning social skills for our members and in turn, our members help create stronger advocates in all our volunteers. We strongly encourage that everyone should come one day into our Center, Your life will be changed for the better being with our members.

When a volunteer enters our program, they are trained with an hour orientation on what to except and to have any questions answered to help them feel more comfortable in our center. Along with the orientation into our program, volunteers will undergo a background check through DSHS. Those are completed and paid for by The Arc of Spokane.

There aren't any requirements on how many hours volunteers put in and days to come in are very flexible to individual schedules.  We invite anyone interested in coming into our centers to join our team. Whether it's just for a special event, on occasional breaks or having a regular schedule. We will work with you and find a good fit for your skills and talents.

We have volunteers who come to the Wiener Ranch and hug dogs.  This is the easiest gig ever if you like dogs.

The time is at 10 am daily with an appointment in advance so no one gets chomped.  Send an email to schedule.  We are open with appointments on weekdays as well as weekends. 

Having folks come to the farm and hug dogs helps us get them socialized before they are placed in their new homes.  Most come inside and sit and we turn loose the hounds.  If you can't stay seated when asked or are terrified of a group of wiener dogs then this is not the volunteer job for you.

We are located on a farm northwest of Spokane and out of town.  There is no bus line to this area so you will need a car and drive yourself to visit us.

I am open for visitors at 10 am daily ONLY with an appointment in advance.  We need to have large watch dogs locked up so no one is injured.  If roads are too icy or dangerous we are also closed then as well.

Please wear long pants and closed toe shoes as dog toe nails can scratch when jumping on laps.

I am not sitting by email or phone so I need to plan my days in advance when taking dogs back and forth to the vet, etc. so please email me to make an appointment in advance.

More details on the To Volunteer page on our website at www.spokanwienerdogs.org  We have placed over 2,500 dogs since 1991!

Thanks,

The Sexual Assault and Family Trauma Center, a program of Lutheran Community Services Northwest, hosts Spokane's only Certified and Accredited Community Sexual Assault Program (CSAP). Our program provides the following services confidentially and free of charge:

Our volunteer advocates assist survivors via a 24-hour support line that can be directed to volunteers at home (no need to sit in a call center) and medical advocacy, which is provided to victims in person at area hospitals when requested.

As a non-profit, we rely on our volunteers to provide services to survivors outside of business hours. We provide a comprehensive 40-hour training and certification free of charge, as well as ongoing supervision and 24-hour support for all our volunteers. We invest in our volunteer staff and in turn, we ask for a one-year commitment of service and four evening or weekend shifts per month. Applicants are thoroughly screened and vetted for service.

Core training is a 40-hour total class teaching a foundational understanding of sexual violence and basic skills for new sexual assault service providers. Core training is a certification that is required by the Office of Crime Victims Advocacy to work as a victims' advocate in Washington state.

The Fig Tree needs volunteer help with editing and proofreading on third Fridays, fourth Mondays and fourth Thursdays.  Visit http://www.thefigtree.org to learn about The Fig Tree.  We will offer training on our style.

We are editing online - also require training.

Please send resume.  We will interview.

We need a gate installed that is about 6' wide and built to match and a new ramp for crippled or injured dogs updated.  We are looking for someone with carpentry experience who has an morning or two to donate to our dog rescue.   We like working mornings before it gets too hot outside.

We also need to build a dog house for a latest guard dog to keep away coyotes at the farm.

We are located northwest of Spokane near Seven Mile and not on the bus line.

We supply the supplies and have the wood all purchased and just need a bit of expert help when we can supply the labor needed too.

We educate the public on responsible pet ownership as well as attend area pet events when we place around 150 dogs a year.  In covid 202 we still placed 96 homeless dogs and a few horses.

Dachshund Rescue NW rescues wiener dogs and we have now placed over 2500 dogs since 1991.

Our Support Groups provide an invaluable network that caregivers for people with Dementia and Alzheimer's can turn to for advice and encouragement. We recognize that caregiving is impossible alone and our support group facilitators create a place for that important interaction by encouraging conversation and maintaining a positive and caring environment.

Our volunteers continuously learn and grow alongside the support group participants while serving a population in need of great support. "I couldn't care for mom alone," said Maria a caregiver "We Latinos are very close, but we also need resources. I want my community to know that there are government resources and community resources that are available to help us. The Alzheimer's Association helped connect us to some things we needed." Support Group Facilitators help us reach more individuals by sharing resources and providing a safe space to discuss the challenges associated with caregiving.

We currently have over 80 support groups for caregivers and want to expand our reach by training new volunteers from throughout Washington State. Help provide support and hope to those who work everyday to care for loved ones with Dementia by joining us as a volunteer.

Support Group Facilitators are asked to commit at least 10 months as a volunteer

2-4 hrs/wk. Duties include answering phones, checking messages, returning phone calls, data entry, outgoing mail, assisting in office work during Fund Drives and fundraisers.

The Spokane River Centennial Trail is always in need of clean-up to keep it in good condition for residents and visitors seeking recreation and active transportation.  Individuals and community groups can pick up litter, pull weeds, and sweep debris from the Trail to welcome our 2.4 million users every year.  Because the Centennial Trail is a State Park, volunteers are placed through Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, not Friends of the Centennial Trail or this website.  Please email Rex Schultz, Volunteer Coordinator for the Eastern WA Region of State Parks, at Rex.Schultz@parks.wa.gov to help.  Thank you!

"A Matter of Balance" (MOB) is an award winning program designed to reduce the fear of falling and increase the activity levels of older adults who have concerns about falls.  Class participants learn to view falls and fear of falling as controllable, set realistic goals for increasing activity, change their environment to reduce fall risk factors and promote exercise to increase strength and balance.

The MOB program utilizes Volunteer Coaches to teach the eight two-hour sessions.  Classes are held in a variety of community-based settings and are led by two Volunteer Coaches. 

Volunteer Coaches receive eight hours of training by MOB Master Trainers.  Once trained, Volunteer Coaches are provided with the opportunity to observe MOB classes prior to teaching classes themselves. 

Volunteer Coaches should possess good communication and interpersonal skills, enthusiasm, dependability, a willingness to lead a small group, an interest in working with older adults and an ability to perform range of motion and low-level endurance exercises.  Experience in education or health care is a plus. 

Do you enjoy helping other people?  By answering people's questions about Medicare, you could make a difference in someone's life.  Our volunteers are trained and mentored so they can answer a variety of questions.  They are not selling or recommending any insurance product, agent, or company.

Each year SHIBA is in contact with more than 4,000 people to answer their Medicare questions and give them guidance.  We need your help to meet the growing demand. 

There are many ways volunteers can help.  One way is by explaining what care is covered.  Another way is looking into and reporting possible fraud.  Or perhaps you enjoy reaching out into the community to let people know where they can turn for help.  Volunteers assist people by phone, in person and through public presentations.  You will learn a lot and make a difference in the lives of others!

Basic computer skills are helpful.  Client confidentiality, a willingness to provide unbiased information, and no association with an insurance company are all a must.  Activities include one-on-one meetings with people who have questions attending update meetings, and getting to know other volunteers. 

Have computer tech experience? Come help KYRS with periodic computer maintenance and troubleshooting. Several hours per month.

Hello,

One of our programs is Recovery Community from 10am to 6pm Monday through Friday for our unhoused Recovery Community members. We serve 45 to 67 people per day.  We are a zero barrier substance use disorder outpatient treatment facility, providing safe space for clients to engage in Recovery throughout the day.  Our unhoused clients are identified as a high risk population for the COVID-19 virus with some of our clients being immune compromised. We are urgently seeking in-kind donations.

We now must limit the amount of clients in our building in order to maintain social distancing.  Due to this we will be increasing our street outreach in order to be supportive of our clients.

Our current needs list:

SAN provides a weekly food pantry for our immunocompromised clients, people living with HIV & AIDS.  On a weekly average, we server about 50 clients.  We established this program last year after a hiatus and have not been able to get connected with 2nd Harvest due to the current crisis.  We work with 2 local non-profits to source food items, but they are even having a hard time getting enough food for their own clients, let alone helping us.  

At this time, we really do not have a need for volunteers to work with our program, but we do need access to foods, especially those rich in protein like eggs, chicken breast, oats, milk, greek yogurt, beans, peanut butter, and fresh fruit and vegetables.  

SAN does have a large chest freezer and access to multiple refrigerators and enough storage to be able to store items.  

If interested and able to donate food items, please let us know.  We are able to take donations at our location with advanced notice since we are not always at the office.  Please reach out via email- support@san-nw.org

1 in 8 U.S. Women will develop breast cancer - You can help!

Loucinda D. received a devastating breast cancer diagnosis when she was in her 30s. Chemotherapy treatments and their side effects were rough enough—then she needed platelets, which weren’t immediately available. 

“In order to receive chemo, your platelets have to be above 100,000 and mine were 9,000. I headed to the emergency room for a platelet transfusion, only to have to wait for platelets to be driven to the hospital from two hours away.” 

Blood donors ensure that the one in eight women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer, like Loucinda, don’t have to wait for relief. Platelets, the part of blood that makes it clot, are one of the three components (along with red blood cells and plasma) that each blood donation provides. 

“I could have died without platelets. Platelets are extremely important to cancer patients like me,” says Loucinda. She also received two red blood cell transfusions during her treatment, and has been cancer-free for four years. “Every year that goes by, is one more year to be thankful to be alive!”

Your unique blood type is especially needed at this time to help hospital patients!

Your blood donation for Breast Cancer Awareness Month gives patients like Loucinda hope – and one less thing to worry about as they fight their disease.

The Spokane Municipal Community Court (SMCC) is seeking volunteers for a new case management program. The program is currently still in development and growing day-by-day. With your help, the case management program will allow clients to receive more individualized access to services provided through SMCC.
