Volunteer Volumes
Partners in Service!
We love when team members at our partner hospitals volunteer with us! Their dedication to their patients and their loved ones is unmatched both inside and outside of the hospital. Case in point: VCU Health is not only one of our primary sponsors at events like SAVOR, but their team members volunteer to serve meals, create welcome bags, host Windex parties, and SO MUCH more! Their impact is far-reaching and they show up in meaningful ways.
Thanks to our partners committing to supporting our mission, they help make The Doorways a place of comfort, care, and community.
Looking to get involved? We have something for everyone! From providing and serving meals, cleaning windows, helping with administrative tasks, and many other opportunities, we rely on volunteer assistance to succeed in carrying out our mission.
Check out the Volunteer page on our website to learn more and reach out to our Volunteer Manager if you have additional questions.
Guest Gazette
“Volunteers make The Doorways SO MUCH more than a hotel.”
-Chris and Birgirt, grateful guests
You might recognize Chris and Birgirt, two of our incredible guests, from their star turn in our Volunteer Appreciation video, offering heartfelt gratitude – on behalf of all of our guests – for the tireless efforts of our volunteers.
But what you might not know is that these two superstars have spent their downtime away from the hospital volunteering themselves! These guests turned gardeners have given Dolly’s Garden a fresh new look—adding vibrant plants, fresh soil, and trimming overgrown greenery. It’s just one of the many ways they give back to The Doorways, always ready to lend a hand wherever it’s needed.
Like so many of our guests, Chris and Birgirt consider The Doorways their home away from home—and our guests volunteer their time amidst their health challenges to make The Doorways even homier for everyone who walks through our doors.

A Board Who Serves
Our board members don’t just lead—they serve, in every sense of the word. From hosting networking events and organizing supply drives to giving tours, attending events, and even rolling up their sleeves to clean, their impact is felt across every corner of The Doorways.
Board Member Catina Jones, Founder and CEO of Icon Realty Group, is a shining example—supporting our mission at SAVOR, gathering her team for a Windex Party, and championing our mission every step of the way. We’re so grateful for their heart, hands, and commitment to volunteerism.
