"Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love." -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Volunteers may work in a variety of capacities including, but not limited to:

• Patient care volunteers - provide emotional support and practical assistance that enhances the comfort and quality of life for patients and family/caregivers. These services include being available for companionship/ emotional support, reading to patients, listening, simply "being there," life review and legacy work, and preparing a light meal or snack. Patient care volunteers may also offer caregiver respite and practical support by assisting with errands or the transportation and other support often needed by hospice patients and caregivers. These duties may include picking up supplies, light housekeeping, or grocery shopping.
• Eleventh Hour/ Vigil Volunteers- patient care volunteers may also serve in the role of Vigil Volunteers after attending additional training. Eleventh hour volunteers maintain a bedside presence to the actively dying and their families.
• Pet Therapy Volunteers- the pet therapy volunteer works directly with patients, families, and the community by offering support through pet visitation in a patient’s home, long term care facility, or in a hospice inpatient setting.
• Bereavement volunteers - Provide bereavement support, empathy, a supportive presence and bear witness to the losses of family/caregivers
