Help a family in need through volunteering with Avalon Hospice. We care for patients at the end-of-life. This can be a difficult time for spouses, families, and caregivers. They can feel overwhelmed with the responsibility of work, care giving, and household duties. You can help by keeping a patient company while a son o daughter runs to the pharmacy. You can also help by attending to light house keeping for an aging spouse. You can help by just being present for caring support. Please contact Melody at (865) 769-5110 or mleibman@avalon-hospic.com for more information.
