Volunteer Opportunities
1700 SW 7th St.
Topeka, KS 66606
785-295-8127
Whether they're high school students learning more about career opportunities and the working world or seniors who deliver mail and flowers or simply offer friendly words to our patients, St. Francis volunteers are part of our lifeblood. From answering phones and providing information to patients and visitors to working in the gift shop and serving as mentors for patients recovering from heart surgery or other conditions, volunteer opportunities are abundant.
As a small thank you for helping out, all of our volunteers may receive a complimentary meal (limited dollar amount) for any four-hour volunteer shift, free membership to the St. Francis fitness center for you and your spouse and a free flu shot.
For more information about volunteering, please e-mail Andrea Marling at andrea.marling@stfrancistopeka.org or call 785-295-8127. Please identify yourself as a youth or adult volunteer.
