The Atlanta office of Heartland Hospice is currently seeking caring volunteers to support our agency by providing friendly visits, vigil and bereavement support, or administrative assistance. The Atlanta office welcomes compassionate volunteers in the following counties that the agency serves: Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Fayette, Clayton, Henry, Rockdale, Newton, and Walton.

Current volunteer opportunities include:

* Administrative volunteers perform duties to assist within the office setting such as providing support in organizing, filing, answering calls, and clerical tasks.

* Friendly visitor volunteers provide companionship to terminally ill patients as well as respite support for caregivers, and friendly visitors may assist with running errands or other duties to provide relief to the families we serve.

* Vigil visitor volunteers provide supportive presence during the expected final hours of life for patients and their support systems. Bereavement volunteers offer supportive outreach to family members during the earliest stages of grief and mourning.
