You could make a huge difference in someone's life just by being you!
SouthernCare Hospice volunteers use their talents to help the terminally ill and their families. Simply visiting patients makes a big impact. Reading, organizing family photo albums or playing a musical instrument are just a few ways you can help. Not sure what you can do? Talk to us - we'll help you figure it out. Everyone has a skill they can share to make someone's remaining days as joyful as possible.
It takes as little as an hour a month. We have patients who need a friend throughout mid-Michigan and the thumb.
