Each newly diagnosed individual who participates in a Breast Cancer or Gynecologic Cancer 101 at the Breast Cancer Coalition is provided with a PALS Pak, which contains useful and comforting items for those who are going through surgery and treatment. Each item in the Pak has a purpose. For example, the Susan Love Breast Book provides critical information and gift cards are added for those times when meal preparation is impossible.

 Dr. Susan Love’s Breast Book (Seventh Edition)
 Cancer-Fighting Kitchen cookbook by Rebecca Katz
 Writing journal, blank (no composition books or guided journals, please)
 Pocket-sized adult coloring book
 12-Pack of colored pencils

Volunteer: Are You Up for the Challenge?

Natural and human-caused disasters occur every day, reminding us how vulnerable we can be. The American Red Cross takes action every day to serve people affected by disasters, rushing to the aid of a family, a neighborhood or an entire community.

Disaster Action Team (DAT) members respond locally to all disasters whenever they occur day or night. DAT members commit to being on-call and available for defined shifts so that when an emergency occurs either a dispatcher or the Disaster Program Manager can reach them and dispatch them immediately. DAT members meet with family members to determine their immediate, disaster-caused needs.

There is a special need for volunteers to support sheltering efforts during disaster relief operations across the country to help provide immediate compassion and care. Help comfort and support people who are forced from their homes due to fires, storms and other emergencies so they don’t have to face tough times alone.

You have the power to make an impact in your community and touch lives every day.

 Safety First! Our need for volunteers is constant and our guidelines reflect the latest CDC safety recommendations and follow the national and local government laws.

Volunteer: Cater A Meal - Opportunity to Support Families at the House Within the Hospital

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Rochester is seeking caring community partners to provide one dinner per month for families staying at our House Within the Hospital, located inside Strong Memorial Hospital.

This quiet, seven-bedroom space supports families with critically ill children, allowing them to stay just steps from their child’s bedside during intensive treatment. Due to the sensitive nature of the environment, we cannot host volunteer groups on-site — but your organization can still make a powerful impact by donating a comforting, ready-to-serve meal.

Your support helps provide warmth, care, and relief to families during incredibly difficult times — something they truly appreciate.

Interested in getting involved? We’d love to share more details and coordinate a date that works for you. Please contact Erika Galbo, Associate Director of Programs & Volunteers: Erikag@rmhcrochester.org 

Thank you for considering this meaningful way to support local families.

Volunteer: Monroe County Health Department Seeking Volunteers

Please consider signing up as a volunteer with the Medical Reserve Corps.  No medical experience is necessary! To sign up or ask questions about any of the opportunities listed below,  please email Aaron Cignarale at aaroncignarale@monroecounty.gov. 

 There are three different volunteer positions at this time: Isolation Home Visit & EducationCoronavirus Hotline Caller, and a Catchall Taskforce Member. Everyone will go through Personal Protective Equipment (PPE – wearing a mask and gloves) training just to be familiar with the process even if they are not planning on being on a field team. Because of the nature of the work, you should be able to commit 10+ hours/week for the next 2-3 months.

Isolation Home Visit & Education:

This position will require training for donning and doffing personal protective equipment. The job duties will include traveling to people’s home who have met the qualifications to be mandatorily quarantined until their symptoms subside. These people need further instruction on what quarantine means, what to do if their signs and symptoms get worse, and to be tested to see if they have COVID-19. You will also provide them with a kit to help guide them through the process. The personal protective equipment is a measure in keeping you safe.

Coronavirus Hotline Caller:

We are inundated with the call volume on the Coronavirus Hotline we have set up and need medical and non-medical people to be able to call people back and follow a script to answer their questions or gain more information. We would like you to call back people who did not give the hotline enough information, they have a standard question that can be answered with one of our scripts, or they need someone to help educate them on their situation. This could be explaining to them why they are not at risk, why they do not need to get tested for Coronavirus, who to contact for a resource need, etc. Also, some people may be needed to call a list of people under voluntary quarantine to ask and record their daily temperatures.

Catchall Taskforce Member:

As with most operations, there is always a small task, a workload getting out of control, or days short of staff. A “Catchall Taskforce” is being formed  to include a  trained group of people  able to jump in and help out in every area with short notice. This may include jumping on the phone and making calls, helping with food delivery, receiving supplies when they arrive, clerical work, making kits for the Isolation teams, or even heading out into the field when necessary.
