VITAS Healthcare(r) is looking for volunteers who are able to share their "handy" skills with hospice patients living at home.
Whether it is changing a light bulb or mowing the lawn, day-to-day tasks can be difficult to manage for hospice patients and their caregivers. Hospice patients and their families often face financial difficulties as well, making it next to impossible for them to hire someone to do these household tasks. VITAS handy persons can help patients and families feel more secure in their homes. The smallest gesture leaves the largest impact.
This is a great opportunity for you to give back to the community. By taking time out of your busy work week you can make the biggest difference in another’s life.
