Hurricane Dorian is impacting millions of people in the southeastern United States and the Bahamas. As we watch this natural disaster unfold, the staff here at VolunteerMatch is doing our part to ensure that if you are in an affected community, you are prepared and safe. And if you are looking to help an affected community, you are properly trained or informed about the most effective ways to contribute. From all of us here at VolunteerMatch: please stay safe.
Crossroads Hospice is in need of creative volunteers to assemble scrapbooks for our Gift of a Day Program.
Patients are asked, "If you had one perfect day, what would it look like?" Staff, volunteers, and local businesses work together to bring these "gifts" to life.
With the permission of the patient and their family, photos are taken at the Gift of a Day. These photos are then given to our volunteers who use their magic to create a beautiful scrapbook. Once the scrapbooks are finalized, they are given to the families to have lifelong memories of their loved one.
The cost of supplies is covered and your time commitment is flexible.

Description
OUR DIFFERENCE
We ask our patients to "Expect More" from us with one-of-a-kind programs like:
Gift of a Day: Patients are asked, "If you had one day to live, what would you want it to look like?" Our staff, volunteers, and local businesses work together to bring these heart-warming "Gifts" to life.
Evenmore Care: We have lower-than-average patient-to-staff ratio that allow us to see patients virtually every day. More patient contact means we can identify an increased or sudden decline and initiate our Watch Program
Watch Program: Patients are closely monitored through multiple daily visits to better recognize when passing may be imminent, at which point we exhaust every effort to be by their side.
Veteran Program: Honoring patients who served in the military to protect our country. Staff and Volunteers are educated and trained in caring for veterans at the end-of-life.
Grief Recovery Program: A special 12 week program, led by our bereavement counselors, helps participants effectively cope with the pain caused by loss
