A volunteer is needed to pick up food coolers from CAC on Western Avenue and transport them to Green Magnet Academy. After drop-off, the coolers must be returned to CAC. An SUV with trunk space is strongly recommended due to the size of the coolers.

Pick-up will take place at 2:00 PM at CAC (2247 Western Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37921). The coolers should then be delivered to Green Magnet Academy (801 Lulu Powell Dr, Knoxville, TN 37915) and the empty coolers returned afterward to CAC (2247 Western Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37921).

Green Magnet Academy has a "Playground Garden" - 6 raised beds adjacent to their playground that student plant and maintain during their recess time. Students lead this garden, deciding what is grown and leading the majority of the maintenance. It is occasionally necessary to supplement their efforts with larger volunteer days. On this day, we will be focusing on mulching the area and making sure it's ready for summer!

CURRENT PROJECTS/OPPORTUNITIES:

WHEN ARRIVING AT THE SCHOOL:

Address: 1807 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. Knoxville, TN, 37915

Please park on Martin Luther King Jr Avenue and then come to the front office doors underneath the awning. You will need to have your drivers license or some other form of verification to sign in at the front. All volunteers must complete an orientation with the Site Coordinator, Kyle Pickell, so plan to arrive 15 mins early to your volunteering event. 

Willow's Friends is a pet program that we created to help take care of patients' pets when they are no longer able to do so, either physically or mentally.  Volunteers will go in and feed, walk, play or clean up after pets or take them to Veterinary or grooming appointments.  We will even aid in the fostering or rehoming of pets before or after the patient passes.  

This program takes one thing off of our patients' and families' plate during this difficult time. If you love animals and want to make a difference in their lives and the lives of their owners, we want to talk to you.

This program was created by UT Hospice in order to give our communities Veterans a better end of life experience.  We have opportunities to serve our Veteran patients and Veterans in the community. Through this program we honor our Veterans with certificates of appreciation and lapel pins, companion our Veteran patients, educate our staff, volunteers, and the community on Veteran issues, and participate in community Veteran organizations and events. 

Life is a journey, and we are needing some compassionate volunteers to help walk our patients home.  We have opportunities for patient companionship, caregiver relief, running errands, preparing lite meals and doing lite housekeeping.  We also have opportunities in our office to do administrative tasks and with our specialized programs, such as Branches-Veteran Centric, Willow's Friends-Our Pet Program, Sacred Spaces-Vigil Program, and Chart of Life-Serves those with Dementia.

Hospice isn't all about death and dying, we are about teaching people to live life to its fullest in the time that they have. Hospice seeks to provide our patients and families with quality of life over quantity. With just 2 hours a week you can help provide people with friendship and dignity. 

Imagine that you are dying, you only have a few hours left on this earth, and there is no family or friends with you. Are you scared, and feel like you don't matter? Some of our patients experience this very situation. UT Hospice has a program called Sacred Spaces that provides a loving presence during this sacred time. Sacred Spaces is a vigil program, we provide volunteers in 4 hour shifts around the clock until the patient passes. You are not there to attend to their physical needs, you are there to provide a loving peaceful presence.

If you think that you could hold a hand, play soft music, read some favorite passages from a book or scripture, or just sit quitely with an individual to make their homegoing peaceful and full of love, you could be a Sacred Spaces volunteer, and we would love to talk to you.

What will volunteers do? Volunteers will be collecting scores from refs and reporting them to our EPL Coordinator, monitoring field activities, answering general questions, helping direct people to parking and field locations, and reporting suspicious or questionable behavior to league officials.

Keep Knoxville Beautiful will be hosting our sixth annual Third Creek Paddle on May 9 from 10am-12pm at UT Gardens! We will be removing litter and invasive species from the area around Third Creek, both on land and in the water.
