Hospice Family Care integrates volunteer opportunities in all areas of our work. We have 16 different opportunities to choose from. Including patient/family support, grief and bereavement support, administration, community outreach, and special events.
http://hospicefamilycare.org/volunteers.aspx
Opportunities range from short-term to long-term time commitments. Training is adjusted to fit each role.
Becoming a trained and certified hospice volunteer not only provides the volunteer the skills and comfort level to support our mission, it also gives the volunteer the skills and knowledge to support his/her own community and family.

Description
To achieve excellent and compassionate care, Hospice Family Care positions itself as bridge. For patients and families, this bridge means connecting them to the support and resources needed to provide the best care possible. It also means supporting their dreams, wishes and goals, like going to the beach, ziplining, attending church, and more.
For volunteers and the community, this bridge means connecting the passion, talent, and time of our devoted community to the care and support of our cause. As the only nonprofit hospice provider, we unite our volunteers, donors, and nonprofit partners to make patient dreams come true and provide essential grief support to adults and children. Just one example is The Caring House, community funded grief support for any child 3 to 18 years old. www.caringhousehuntsville.com
