About
Let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who sacrificed so much so that we can live fee. ~Dan Lapinski
We are seeking veterans to visit with our hospice patients who are veterans. The goal of this program is to honor people for their service and to create opportunities to share experiences. Vet to Vet volunteers may assist with:
Pinning ceremonies
Record stories for the Veteran History Project
Bring recognition gifts on holidays
Provide companionship
Assist families in applying for a presidential memorial certificate
Visits are typically 1-4 hours, every 1-2 weeks. Our patients are located throughout the twin cities metro area. Volunteer with a veteran close to home!
You do not need medical training. You just need a desire to help.
