Needs From: Loudoun Cares

Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers works with the elderly and disabled throughout Loudoun County.  

At Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers, we provide medical rides to some of the counties medically fragile residents. Several of our Care Receivers need rides to dialysis, chemo and radiation appointments.  We also have some Care Receivers who must go for medical appointments, such as physical therapy, in order to prepare for a life-saving surgery such as mass removal or an organ transplant. Still others may need to continue ongoing care in order to preserve eyesight and similar appointments that will allow them to keep their independence longer. We are anxiously looking for compassionate volunteers to provide these rides to our Care Receivers. 

If this sounds like a task for you, please don't hesitate to contact us as we are eager and grateful to have you join our volunteer family!

Join us on our wheelchair assisted transportation van to keep our care receivers company while helping get them to and from medical appointments. No driving, just riding along to help get people from point A to point B. 

Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers is a volunteer based organization that provides free services to some of the most vulnerable people in the county. Most of our Care Receivers are shut-ins. If they aren't shut-ins, it is seldom that they get to socialize or go out, save a doctor's appointment or a rare, special event. 

One of the services we provide to our Care Receivers is food delivery. Several of our Care Receivers are both lonely and hungry. Most live all alone and a few of them are families. Some of the families have young children who are being raised by a grandparent or grandparents. Each time you deliver food to one of our Care Receivers, you are providing nutritious food to them, but, you are also providing them with much needed companionship and hope. If not for your deliveries of food, our Care Receivers wouldn't be able to eat proper meals, if at all. All of these gifts you are giving are huge for our Care Receivers, and for us, too! With your help, we keep our Care Receivers going and because of you, we can continue to fulfill our mission. 

We are affiliated with Dulles South Food Pantry and Loudoun Hunger Relief. This means you can serve both the East and West side of Loudoun County and choose which pantry would be more convenient for you to deliver from. Flexibility is just one of the benefits we offer our volunteers

We look forward to meeting with you and providing you with more details about the open positions and opportunities we have for you! 

Based on your own schedule! Help with minor home repairs, mowing, yard work, or snow shoveling from our web-based system.  

 Most appointments are flexible and take place weekdays and during daytime hours.  We have some weekend appointments as well.

There is no minimum weekly requirement of number of appointments or number of hours served. 

We are looking for friendly, reliable volunteers who have skills in carpentry and property maintenance. 

Appointment times vary from one to several hours.

Orientation and training is provided.  Volunteer application and background check is required.  

Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers works with the elderly and disabled of Loudoun County. These are two groups who have been categorized as vulnerable by the CDC, WHO and other organizations. Due to the current restrictions our Care Receivers are facing, most have been ordered to stay home and wait until it has been deemed safe to go out again. This means many of our senior Care Receivers and Disabled Care Receivers with compromised immune systems cannot leave their homes to shop for necessities like food, prescriptions, toiletries and more.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO REQUIRE A BACKGROUND CHECK FOR ALL OF OUR VOLUNTEERS. This will be done at no cost to you and we will be happy to provide you a copy of the report for your records.  

If this sounds like a task you feel comfortable assisting with, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are eager and grateful to have you join our volunteer family!

We provide services to elderly and disabled Loudoun County residents who may be unable to drive and are restricted to their homes due to age or health.  

We are looking for volunteers to visit clients once a week for 45 minutes to an hour and cheer them up.  You might play chess, cards, or take a walk with a client.  Or you might just sit and talk with the client.  

Volunteers who are social, friendly, outgoing, and who like interacting on a personal level, this is for you.  Appointments are usually during the day and during the week.  You pick up appointments on our friendly web based system.

There is no minimum weekly requirement of number of hours required.

Orientation and training is provided.  Volunteer application and background check is required.  

We have been providing extra items for our low income elderly and disabled Care Receivers, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, coffee, prescriptions, cleaning supplies, etc. We have been able to do this for the last couple of months using the supply of gift cards we had in our office. In the last few weeks, the need for these items has steadily increased and we would like to continue to do be able to provide these extra necessities for our Care Receivers.

In order to continue to shop for them, we will need additional gift cards. We are requesting gift card donations to the following stores in $20 amounts:

Wegman's 

Harris Teeter

Giant

Safeway

Food Lion

Aldi

Lidl 

CVS

Walgreens

Amazon

These can be dropped off or mailed to:
