Volunteering with the Aurora VNA

Volunteers enhance services through activities such as delivering Mobile Meals, providing respite care and other assistance for hospice patients and their families, performing clerical work in a Aurora VNA office or at Shoo the Flu clinics, helping with fund-raising events, or serving on the board and committees.

Be part of the largest flu immunization program in Wisconsin

The Aurora Visiting Nurse Association Shoo the Flu & Pneumonia Too! program vaccinates thousands of people each year – and it could not be done without the help of more than 400 volunteers! You can be part of this valuable community service and help save the lives of your family, friends and neighbors.

Volunteers are needed to help with clerical duties in all communities in eastern Wisconsin, from Door County to the Illinois border.

  • Help with registration, payments and clerical duties - training provided
  • Most clinics are four hours long – sign up for one or more shifts during weekday, weekend or evening hours
  • Clinics are held from October through mid-December
  • Hundreds of clinics are held at shopping centers, grocery stores, businesses, senior centers and health care facilities
  • Volunteers always have the opportunity to choose clinics in locations near their neighborhoods

Planning for the fall clinics takes place each August. For more information about becoming a Shoo the Flu volunteer, call 414-328-4434 or toll-free at 800-862-2201, ext. 4434. Call any time of year to learn how you can become part of this valuable group!

Mobile Meals

Mobile Meals volunteers help deliver hot meals to households in Milwaukee and eastern Waukesha Counties. In addition to the individuals who deliver meals, several community organizations sponsor routes. Area businesses are encouraged to sponsor a meal delivery route by organizing a team of volunteer drivers. For information, email us or call 414-768-5947.

Hospice volunteers -- Central & northern Wisconsin

We are looking for caring individuals to serve as volunteers in our Medicare Certified Hospice Program in north and central Wisconsin. Hospice volunteers play an integral part in providing support to terminally ill patients and their families and caregivers by offering in-home companionship to patients. All volunteers are required to attend a comprehensive 16-hour training led by members of the hospice team. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Jane Shea, Hospice Volunteer Coordinator, at 1-800-686-4314, extension 3032.

Home/Zilber Family Hospice volunteers

Other volunteers serve as part of the hospice team. They share their time and compassion with patients and families who are going through an extremely difficult time. They do whatever the family needs – from reading to a patient or running errands to providing respite care while a caregiver takes a break. They generally spend 2-4 hours a week with their patient, although this depends on each individual situation. Training is provided.

To learn more about becoming a hospice volunteer in eastern Wisconsin, send a message, or call 414-327-2295 in the Milwaukee area, or toll free at 800-862-2201.
