Community Nurse Health Association relies on its volunteers. More than 150 volunteers are needed each week. Please fill out the volunteer application online, call our volunteer coordinator at 708.579.2403, or email our volunteer coordinator at hvergowe@communitynurse.org.
Volunteer opportunities include:
Carousel and Corner Shops
We always need merchandise sorters, pricers and cashiers for both retail shops. Teen and adult community service hours welcome. One time to weekly commitments are available.
Join the Women's Auxiliary
The Women’s Auxiliary mission is to gather service oriented women for the purpose of working together for volunteer and financial support of Community Nurse Health Association. Join an active group of 30 women who are making a difference. This social group hosts an annual fundraiser as well as provides volunteer and financial support to our agency.
Be an Elf for Secret Santa
Volunteers in our Secret Santa program help fulfill gift requests for more than 700 children served at our clinic by shopping, organizing and distributing gifts.
Serve on the Board of Directors
Board members fundraise, act as ambassadors by sharing our story and shape the strategic direction of the agency. Non-board committee members are also needed. If you’re interested in board service, please contact Angela Curran, CEO at acurran@communitynurse.org.
Provide Professional Care
Our volunteer staff of medical and dental personnel dedicates hundreds of hours a year to serving our patients. If you are a medical or dental provider interested in volunteering your services either as a primary provider in our office or a specialty provider on your own office, please contact Chris Golden, Manager of Specialty and Ancillary Services at cgolden@communitynurse.org or 708.579.2406.
Donate to our Shops
Our shops are a major source of funding for our clinics. One way to benefit your home and our agency is donate clothing, house wares, books or toys to the Carousel Shop. Donations may be brought to the red door at the rear of the shop by way of the alley (one-way headed west of La Grange Road, just south of Burlington) Monday-Saturday from 9am to 3pm. For more information, please call 708-354-3803 during shop hours.
We also welcome your consignment furniture, unique antiques, vintage collectibles and estate jewelry at our Corner Shoppe. Click for more information on the consignment process.
Special Events
Support our fundraising efforts by attending or volunteering at one of our signature events. Purchase a ticket or provide a sponsorship for the Waterfall Glen Xtreme 10 Race or our Rockoberfest. For more information about the events or partnership opportunities, contact the Director of Development at 708.579.2404.
