Hospice Volunteers Make a Difference

Save to Favorites

You don’t need an advanced degree or specialized skillset to help care for someone during the last days of their life. All you need is a heart for comforting and caring for others - we provide all the training you’ll need through our free volunteer training program.

Volunteers play a vital role in our mission to provide support and comfort for patients and families with a terminal illness. Patients and families appreciate the fact that volunteers are people in their community who want to do something kind for someone else.

Freda H. Gordon Hospice volunteers make a difference by:

• Providing companionship and friendship to patients during the last days of their lives.
• Offering emotional and spiritual support to families and caregivers.
• Promote positive, supportive, respectful communication and respite to patient/family.
• Provide an environment which promotes respect for patient, privacy and property.
• Occasionally assist the Freda H. Gordon Hospice staff with mailings, annual volunteer and memorial events.
