Volunteer for the NKF


The services provided to our patients can only be offered as a result of people like you, "who care." The National Kidney Foundation truly values all of our volunteers and we are always looking for new people to add to our "kidney family" to make it even stronger.

Our volunteers offer many valuable services. If you are willing to help in any way, please complete this form, email or call the National Kidney Foundation of Upstate New York at 585-697-0874 to get involved and join our team.
