Bikur Cholim of Flagstaff
Bikur Cholim (literally "visiting the sick") of Flagstaff is there to provide help and support to our fellow Jews who are ill, homebound, isolated, and/or otherwise in distress.
If you would like to participate in this mitzvah by volunteering, please email Info@JewishFlagstaff.com or call 928-255-5756. Your name will then be added to the Bikur Cholim volunteer list. When the need arises, we will contact you to find out if you are available to assist.
You can also help, by informing the Bikur Cholim of community members in need of our assistance.
The Bikur Cholim will strive to assist patients, and/or their caregivers, in the following ways:
1) To provide general support to the patient and/or caregiver.
2) To provide transportation to and from doctor appointments.
3) To provide hospital and home visitation, to help bring cheer, and to give hope and support to the patient(s) and their families.
4) To assist with meal preparation, laundry, or light housekeeping when necessary.
5) To run errands such as grocery shopping, picking up a prescription, or other errands as needed.
6) Other assistance as may be needed on a case-by-case basis (i.e. patient advocacy at a hospital/social service agency, etc.)
Thank you in advance for your participation in this greatly needed service to our community! May G-d bless you and yours with good health and good times!
