Volunteer Opportunities

Lazarus House's mission is to offer guests connected to our communities who are unhoused or at-risk hope for the future by providing hospitality, food, safe shelter and education - tools for life. We serve those with a connection to the Tri-Cities and western rural Kane County. We have many different volunteering opportunities from serving meals, event support and more-there is something for everyone! Please contact Megan, our Volunteer Coordinator at Volunteer@lazarushouse.net

This is extra food that is needed due to the loss of food donations from local grocery stores and restaurants. We typically feed 60-80 people per meal between in-house guests and those in need of food from the community. That being said, whatever amount of food you can donate will be greatly appreciated.

Little Brothers – Friends of the Elderly (LBFE) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to alleviating loneliness and isolation among older adults. Through simple, consistent acts of friendship, volunteers help ensure that older adults know they are valued, connected, and not forgotten. As LBFE–Chicago expands services in DuPage and Kane Counties, we are seeking compassionate volunteers who want to build genuine, one-to-one relationships with older adults in their community. Volunteer today!

Help seniors in our community!  Batavia RSVP needs volunteers with their own vehicles to drive seniors to medical appointments.  We also need volunteers to staff the office, primarily to coordinate requests for rides with our pool of volunteer drivers. 

If you are a licensed massage therapist, we are currently seeking professionals to support Touch Therapy appointments at our Geneva and Warrenville locations. These are 45-minute sessions focused on enhancing patient well-being through therapeutic touch. If you are passionate about making a difference through art or therapeutic touch, we would love to hear from you. We do offer a small stipend per appointment to help with contining education and license.
