Compassionate Companions, AKA No Person Dies Alone Program

Compassionate Companions

What is it?

Compassionate Companions is a program that offers companionship and support to patients who are nearing the end of life. Compassionate Companions provides a dignified death to individuals who have no family or close friends to sit with them at the end of life. At Maui Health, deaths occur each year within the hospital. Through this program, we can provide witness to a person's life and compassion at their passing.

Why is program important?

We can provide companionship to patients in the dying process who are alone, and in doing so, provide a gift of respect and dignity to another human being at the end of life.

This volunteer opportunity is an 'on call' opportunity.  If a patient's family or close friend cannot be there, or is on the way but far away, a volunteer sits with the patient.  After on-boarding as a hospital volunteer, you will go through a special training.  You will be on a list to call when we are needed at the hospital to sit with a patient who is getting ready to pass.  We can just sit quietly, hold their hand if you feel comfortable, record any last words of thoughts to give to give family members or friends who could not be there.  We have some background music options to play if desired.  The hospital Chaplin is close by if needed.

Requirement is to sit up to 4 hours, then you can continue if needed or another volunteer will be called.  You can be called day or night and can tell the volunteer coordinator any times you are not available.

This is a most rewarding experience for a volunteer, and a comforting service for a person at life's end.

Give me a call at 808-280-4707 for more information or to get your on-boarding started.

Aloha, Barbara Potopowitz

We need many loving hands to help pick our biodynamic cotton on the farm! We also need help ginning the cotton. A cotton gin? Yes! We do have a cotton gin! We make farm-enhanced products like pillows, seatbelt covers, and use the cotton to decorate cards. We also make our own paper by mixing old jeans, our cotton, freshly picked flowers, and put them all into the blender and lay it out as freshly made paper that we'll dry for gift-wrapping and card making. So bring your old jeans and denims, and we'll put them to use!

We need help removing the invasive plants on a regular basis. Maintaining an organic farm with natural support requires a lot of manual work to constantly remove the invasive plants that are being blown in by the wind and dropped in by the birds. "Laulima" is the Hawaiian word which means 'many hands/contributing.' And we are eternally grateful to the many volunteers who have made our work lighter through laulima.

One needs to wear good strong shoes. We provide gloves. Bring your hat and sunscreen. We'll provide hand picks and larger picks, a sawzall, a ho'o, and other tools. We will provide refreshments, as well (something to eat and drink). 

Maui Friends of the Library always needs help in our used bookstores! The stores are located at three different locations: Queen Ka'ahumanu Center in Kahului; on Lipoa Street in Kihei; and in Pu'unene (past the old sugar mill and behind the school administration building.)

Volunteers may choose their duties.  These may include the following:

We are an all-volunteer organization founded to promote and assist Maui libraries. Our greatest fundraising efforts are based on the operation of these used bookstores. We take donations of pre-loved books, CDs, and DVDs and sell them at reasonable prices -- with all proceeds going to the needs of our Maui County libraries! It's a win-win: great prices on media for the community, and much-needed funding for each library branch in Maui County, including Moloka'i and Lana'i. 
The funds we provide for our Maui libraries will be ESPECIALLY needed this year, as libraries and museums face deep funding cuts from federal sources!!

Please hit RESPOND to this need or email us at mauifriendsofthelibrary@hotmail.com

Please join us at Ka'ehu for our 4th Sunday of every month cleanup of this beautiful bay!  We work together to pick up marine debris that's continuously washing ashore, from all around the Pacific Ocean and locally.  Then we weigh, sort and count it all.  This information gets added to our ongoing database since 2012, when we first began these regular cleanups at Ka'ehu.

It's a very rewarding and educational experience (with good karma and outdoor exercise)!    

All are welcome to join this adventurous trashy treasure hunt!  Please rsvp so we can provide our most updated safety and access information:

There are many disabled fire survivors that are moving back to Lahaina or moving to another living situation after being displaced for over a year. Some of them don't have the ability to carry, pack or even move their personal belongings.  We are looking for strong, compassionate full of Aloha individuals to kokua with physical labor and transporting the belongings to their new homes.

We are in the process of finalizing a west side exchange in Lahaina! But we need 1-2 people who live that side to help us with getting the word out, doing small things between events, and helping us best connect to the west side community. This would mean attending and volunteering at monthly event, plus a few hours each month helping with deliveries or speaking to to local schools, non profits.

Volunteer cat colony feeders and kitten fosters needed around Lahaina and Honokowai. Prefer full-time or part-time residents of Maui as this opportunity requires training and ongoing support. Takes about 15-30 minutes per feeding and we can provide all food, supplies & instructions. Even 15 minutes a week will help make a big difference.

Volunteers are needed to support our mission to be in touch with our community to talk about the sometimes difficult conversations about the value of our program of care.  We participate in and host information tables at many local events, and offer group presentations where we are invited.  

This opportunity will be delegated by the Leadership team to assist with specific tasks that are not part of the regular outreach. This could include, but is not limited to, support admin work, hanging and maintaining signage, sorting through donations or maintenance, cleaning, and organizing tasks to support the outreach team's efforts while keeping everything running efficiently. Times are more flexible and are not necessarily the same time as an outreach that is pre-scheduled.

When a large-scale disaster impacts a community, multiple agencies and resources come together to provide response and recovery support. As a Community Engagement & Partnerships (CEP) Service Associate you’ll connect with local partners to build capacity, coordinate activities, and ensure that all disaster-affected communities have access to Red Cross services.

Your role involves implementing the CEP plan, engaging with organizations, and supporting multi-agency collaborative efforts to promote regional engagement and inclusive partnerships.

This position is great for those that are well known in the community they'll be supporting. Those that network, lead groups, do public speaking, etc. are great candidates for this high-need role. 

This position is great for those that enjoy educating others and public speaking. Former teachers, coaches, education students, pastors, group leaders, etc. In your role, you will learn our Community Education Presentations for the programs below, and teach members of the public how to prepare.

Presentations are scheduled in the community based on their needs, but are scheduled in advance. They generally take 1-2hrs, and you'll have a team member with you so you're not alone. 

As a logistics Team Member you'll work before, during, or after a disaster to ensure that we have the supplies we need, in the places we need them. There are several options:

Transportation Volunteer- When disaster responders from across the country respond to a disaster, they need access to reliable transportation to meet the needs of the community effectively. Transportation Service Associates serve as a part of the logistics team by coordinating the maintenance, inventory control and servicing of vehicles used during a response.

Fulfillment Volunteer- When disaster responders from across the country respond to a disaster, they need access to reliable transportation to meet the needs of the community effectively. Transportation Service Associates serve as a part of the logistics team by coordinating the maintenance, inventory control and servicing of vehicles used during a response.

Sourcing volunteer- The Sourcing Service Associate is an operational position and is assigned temporarily to support Disaster Cycle Services Logistics on a disaster relief operation (DRO). This position receives, obtains, and delivers materials and services requested from DRO teams. This position supports the mission of the American Red Cross by deploying mission critical supplies and materials requested from other DRO functional groups and ensuring financial alignment with the Service Delivery Plan.

Disaster Action Team (DAT) Duty Officers are the behind-the-scenes heroes who coordinate local emergency responses in real time. From the comfort of your home, you’ll ensure that people affected by disasters receive the care and support they need by dispatching volunteers to the scene.

If you are comfortable talking on the phone with new people, learning new computer applications, and can keep folks organized this is the perfect role for you! 

In this role, you'll receive calls from first-responders that are on scene at small-scale local disasters, like home fires. You'll collect the information about the event, how many people/pets need assistance and how bad the damage is. Then, you'll call the Disaster Action Team members that are on-call and respond in-person to provide assistance.

When housing is disrupted in communities after a disaster, it can be difficult for some people to find new long-term housing. The Shelter Resident Transition Team helps shelter residents create personalized plans to overcome roadblocks and transition to new housing. They play a critical role in reducing disaster-caused displacement and aiding in long-term recovery for individuals. 

If you want to alleviate human suffering by shortening the time of disaster caused displacement, this is the perfect role for you!

As a Distribution of Emergency Supplies (DES) volunteer, you'll be stationed at a location in the community (usually a Red Cross office, warehouse, or local school). Members from the public that need assistance will be directed to that location where you'll be able to provide supplies. The supplies may include things like: clean-up kits, tents/tarps, food, water, etc.

You will need to be physically able to work in the weather, and lift 20-50lbs multiple times during your shift. Shifts can range between 4-12hrs depending on how much support we have.
