Island Volunteer Caregivers

Island Volunteer Caregivers (IVC) has been serving Bainbridge Island for more than 30 years. At its core, IVC connects neighbors to reduce isolation and support independence, providing free, volunteer-powered support to older adults, individuals with disabilities, caregivers, and those facing adversity. Through a network of more than 300 volunteers, IVC brings people together in meaningful ways, offering both practical help and human connection.

Services include medical transportation, errands, grocery and prescription pickups, meals through the IVC Care Kitchen, companionship, respite, check-ins, and resource navigation. We also offer caregiver and grief support groups, along with life enrichment activities that foster connection and enhance well-being. IVC plays a vital role in identifying and filling gaps in services when other resources are unavailable.

Each summer, our Flowers from the Heart program delivers hundreds of donated bouquets, offering simple moments of connection and care—neighbors helping neighbors through helping hands and open hearts.
