Hospice Volunteer Opportunity:
You eat lunch with your best friend. You take walks, go to the gym, and take in the latest movie with your best friend. Why not VOLUNTEER with your best friend?
We are searching for volunteer teams of two that will visit our hospice patients and families in their homes or at a nursing facility. We serve 16 counties and work with your schedule and area of service. All training is provided free of charge. Social distancing and safety policies are in place for safe visits. Training and documentation is electronic, eliminating the need to come into the office. We would love to work with you!
If you have a compassionate heart, a willingness to learn and a best friend, we want to talk to you!
