Quilting for Hospice Houses

We are looking for quilters who are interested in donating to the NorthCare and Kansas City Hospice Houses. Quilts will be used to brighten patient rooms and to make family members and patients feel more at home during their stay at our hospice houses. Family members may take the quilt home with them as a lasting treasure after their loved one has passed. Must be made of new materials and be machine washable. Preferred size is approximately 4’ x 5’. Patriotic Quilts: We are also always looking for individuals or groups who like to make and donate patriotic quilts for our Veterans. Each Veteran patient is presented with a quilt and a certificate thanking them for their service. Sometimes fabric is donated to us, and we can pass it along to quilters willing to support our program.

Flexible Schedule | Kansas City, MO 64145

Seeking a hair stylist, or preferably a small team of stylists, experienced in styling coily texture and kinky texture hair that would be willing to volunteer to teach a class on styling to hospice CNAs, LPNs and RNs. Our team is passionate about providing excellent care to every patient, and this is an area where education is needed. If you and/or your team would be willing to provide a class to our team we'd be incredibly grateful. Please contact me at mbasgall@kchospice.org. If you know someone who might be interested, please share this information with them. FYI- We have a conference room for the class at our hospice house at 120th and Wornall in KCMO, and that location also has a one-chair salon-style room if needed. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Haircuts for Hospice Patients (Nonprofit)

Flexible Schedule | Kansas City, MO 64114

Local, nonprofit Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care (kchospice.org) is looking for compassionate volunteers to provide a special service for patients. Most of our patients can’t leave their home, nursing facility, or hospice house. We have a great need for licensed cosmetologists willing to donate just a little of their time (perhaps an hour or two per month) to cut hair in the patient’s residence. Whenever possible, we match volunteers with patients in their geographical area. You also have full flexibility to schedule with the patient and family when it's convenient for you. A haircut can make you feel amazing and brighten your day, and hospice patients really need that. Please help us provide a great service (and a little pampering!) to a very grateful person and their loved ones.

Massage Therapy for Hospice Patients

Flexible Schedule | Kansas City, MO 64114

Our goal at Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care is to ensure that our patients remain comfortable in their final months. Volunteer massage therapists can help by providing light, stress-relieving massage for homebound patients or those in long-term care facilities or hospice houses. We try to match volunteers with patients in their preferred geographical areas, but we appreciate if you are also willing to occasionally travel to more distant areas if the need arises. The gift of your time and skill could mean so much to a patient and their grateful caregiver. Even one massage a month makes a difference!
