Avalon Hospice is looking for "break givers". Typically when families have a loved one on hospice service, one person ends up taking on all the responsibility for caring for their loved one. You can give 2 hours of your week to help relieve or give a break to that family member. We provide training including CPR certification. But you are simply there as a companion. If you can give up 2 hours a week then we have a need for you!
