Off-site volunteering is an innovative approach to support LifeCare Alliance and allows us to reach more volunteers beyond a traditional volunteer setting. Off-site volunteering means that, rather than volunteers coming to LifeCare Alliance, we bring the volunteering to you! Whether it be at a work place, church, or school, we can find a way to be there. These expanded offerings enhance community involvement and support for these essential programs, offering flexible ways for individuals to contribute their time and skills and engage in meaningful activities at a time that fits their personal schedules.
LifeCare Alliance recently collaborated with Root Insurance through this program. Team members made client cheer cards, prepared bag liners for Meals-on-Wheels delivery, and portioned dog treats for senior pet care. Just a month after this initial event, due to the positive feedback they received from their employees, Root Insurance invited LifeCare Alliance back for a second event.
Over the course of 90 minutes, Root Insurance employees created beautiful handmade greeting cards, gift bags, and ornaments for our holiday program. They also got further into the spirit by playing holiday music, helping to make this a great team bonding memory. These personal touches will add a special warmth to the holiday season for clients, reflecting the spirit of giving and community support.
