Volunteer Opportunities Currently Available
Sweets to the Sweet Delivery Drivers: Coming up in February, it is our 11th Annual Sweets to the Sweet Valentine’s Day fundraiser and we are looking for volunteer drivers to assist us in 3 hour shifts at a time. InterFaith’s annual Sweets to the Sweet fundraiser provides a personal delivery of a gourmet miniature bundt cake (from Nothing Bundt Cakes in Bearden) to a friend, colleague, or “sweetie” of your choice, and each $50 bundt purchased sponsors one health care visit for a working, uninsured patient at InterFaith. Our goal this year is to deliver 800 bundt cakes all over the Knoxville area and we couldn’t do this without our volunteers! A GPS is helpful and some volunteers prefer to deliver in pairs.
NEED: volunteer delivery drivers on Tuesday, Feb 13th (9am-12p,) & (1pm-4pm); Wednesday, Feb 14th (9am-12pm)
For more information, please contact Aaron Price at 865-243-3035 or aprice@interfaithhealthclinic.org

Volunteering at InterFaith
Former longtime InterFaith volunteer and current board emeritus member, Dr. Walter Beahm
With a paid staff of only twenty-two, the clinic couldn't exist without its core of volunteers. Nearly 200 people volunteer their services on-site and over 400 off site-volunteers see our patients. Each year, more than 6,000 volunteer hours are recorded on-site. Our faithful volunteers and staff work together to fulfill the mission laid before us by a Board of Directors. Local hospitals work closely with the clinic by providing lab work and accepting patients for hospitalization and diagnostic testing using our sliding fee scale.
While groups of non-clinical volunteers are occasionally needed for general projects such as painting, yardwork/maintenance, and clerical duties, our most pressing need is for clinical volunteers such as physicians, dentists, nurses, dental hygienists, specialists, etc. You may set your own volunteer schedule, and you can elect to see patients on-site at the clinic or in your own private office.
If you have questions about how you can volunteer at InterFaith, please see below for the appropriate person to contact.
