Are you a good cook? Avalon's interdisciplinary team strives to help patients and their families in any way we can. Our volunteers can provide different dishes, casseroles, and baked goods for special events or for families during a stressful time or bereavement. While caring for a hospice patient not having to worry about dinner can be a huge relief. This can be a great serve project for church groups too!
