There is a lot to gain from being a hospice volunteer including: satisfaction, greater self-knowledge, and spiritual growth.
Volunteering as little as a couple of hours a month can provide assistance to a patient or their family at a time when they need it most. Sit with a patient as a volunteer and have simple conversations, play games, read, or watch television to help them and their family get through this difficult time.
You can share any talents or skills you have with our patients. Sewing, knitting, drawing, painting, massage therapy, musical therapy are some of many skills you can share with our patients to help them enjoy their final days.
Please join our Team of compassionate staff....We need you!!!!
