Samaritan’s volunteers support our mission in many different ways. See all the different opportunities below.
Become A Volunteer!
Pet Therapy Volunteers provide direct support to our patients with the use of their already-certified pet therapy dog.
Greeters’ welcome family members and visitors to the Center, escort as needed to their loved ones, and answer and direct phone calls.
Administrative volunteers help in our main office in Mount Laurel with typing, filing, collating, data entry, and many other critical administrative tasks. Their behind-the-scenes labors of love help Samaritan’s many programs and patient/family services to operate efficiently.
Make phone calls every other week from our administrative office in Mount Laurel and ask scripted questions to clients on our Transitions program. Document in the electronic medical record.
Friendly Callers have meaningful conversations with adults who are socially isolated or lonely and who share hobbies and interests with you. You’ll make calls from your own home through a Call Hub to respect privacy and confidentiality.
Visit adults who are feeling socially isolated or lonely and brighten their day with your time and meaningful conversation about shared interests, current events, and more. Meet at their home, out for coffee, etc.
Bereavement volunteers make telephone calls from their own home to check-in with those who have recently experienced a loss and reassure them that Samaritan is still there for them if they need us.
Offer comfort and support to Samaritan’s patients and families through special gifts like lap blankets, prayer shawls, fidget mats for dementia patients, adult food protectors, memory bears for grieving families, pillows, Nightingale award blankets, Nightingale award corsages, and more.
Thrift Store Volunteers assist with the store in Westmont open Tuesday-Saturday. They support with duties normally performed in a retail setting such as greeting customers, setting up merchandise displays, completing sales transactions, sorting donations, and maintaining store cleanliness and an inviting environment.
Music Performers share the gift of music with patients and their friends living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities through performance and musical interaction.
