Island Volunteer Caregivers
Since 1997, Island Volunteer Caregivers has been
connecting neighbors facing challenges related to
aging, disability, or adversity with volunteers and
resources to support independent and fulfilling lives.
We are committed to a world of compassionate
communities where people of all ages value and
care for seniors and those with special needs.

Volunteer as your schedule permits.
- Assist with an errand, a ride to an appointment, or companionship. Many volunteers develop meaningful friendships with care receivers.
- Volunteer opportunities
Bainbridge Island has some amazing seniors - many of whom have reached a point in their lives when they can use a hand, a ride, a friend, or some help around the house. A visit and a smile can brighten the day of someone who spends much of their day alone.
- Our volunteers say it best: “It’s low commitment and high reward. You’re able to make a difference in a short amount of time.”
- why it’s important
Our Food Bank is where the action is. From greeting customers to stocking, organizing, and cleaning - you’ll stay engaged! There are three shifts: morning, mid-day, and afternoon.
- Volunteer when you’re able.

- Helpline House would not be possible without volunteers. Every single thing our volunteers do makes Helpline House a wonderful place and ensures our community members feel like they can come here when they are in crisis or need.

Helpline House
Helpline House offers an umbrella of social services
and invites the community to become a part of a
circle of giving and receiving help - Neighbor helping
Neighbor.
Helpline House provides a network of critical social
services through a number of different programs
including children services, senior services, financial
assistance, and a food bank. The agency's
programs help more than 2,500 people
every year.

- Join one of our over 20 teams and 700+ existing volunteers and
develop life-saving skills. Whether your interests lie with our Medical
Reserve Corps, our Child Safety team, our Flotilla, or numerous other
groups, there is a team (or two...or three!) for you.
- Volunteer Opportunities
- As we witness every week across the world, emergencies and
disasters often overwhelm dedicated first responders and other
emergency workers. By volunteering and training with us, you can
learn valuable skills for yourself while helping your family, emergency
personnel, and our whole community.
