Hospice Volunteer

Kelly is married to a hospice chaplain/bereavement coordinator, so it's only natural that she would wind up helping out as a volunteer. She is trained to visit with patients as well as help assist with various tasks at the office. She also helps out with the Bereavement department.

Volunteer Coordinator

In the past, Kelly worked as the Volunteer Manager of the Toledo chapter of Family Promise, a charity that helped homeless families get a fresh start in life. She carried out the initial intakes and background checks on families seeking to enter the program. She was also responsible for recruiting churches to participate in the program and helping them form teams from their congregations to host several families at each church for a week on a rotating basis. She was responsible for scheduling host weeks and keeping each volunteer team informed with pertinent info about each of the families they would be hosting.
