Caring Committee

 

Caring Committee may offer more opportunities for involvement than you think! Below are the different roles you can have in the Caring Committee. You can fill one role, or more than one role if you’d like.

Ministry
Those on the Ministry Team sign up for a two-week period in which they are responsible for maintaining contact and coordinating care for those who are currently receiving assistance. The information about who to contact and when will be provided to you, you do not have to figure this out yourself.

The main role of ministry is to make calls, but if you are willing can also include things like visiting with someone or bringing them a meal.

This is a good fit if you:

  • Are looking to have more one-on-one contact with members of the congregation
  • Prefer to help during a planned block of time
  • Are looking for a moderate but time-limited commitment

Supporter
Those on the Support Team agree to be contacted by the Ministry Team to provide additional “action” assistance as needed, such as delivering meals or possibly providing a ride to a medical appointment. You do not sign up for a set time frame, but may be contacted when the Ministry Team needs additional assistance.

This is a good fit if you:

  • Are looking for minimal time commitment
  • Are usually in the local area
  • Are able to cook or pick up a meal for someone from time to time

Helping Hands
This is a list of people who are willing to be contacted if someone in our caring book has a need that suddenly comes up with short notice, e.g., a doctor’s appointment. You do not sign up for a set time frame, but may be contacted when the Ministry Team is trying to help coordinate care on short notice.

This is a good fit if you:

  • Are looking for minimal time commitment
  • Are usually in the local area
  • Have daytime availability

We always welcome new team members. Please contact us caringchair@wuu.org if you have any questions.
