Brockton Visiting Nurse Association is looking for Hospice volunteers to help make a meaningful difference in patients and their families faced with a serious or terminal illness. Provide emotional support, comfort and companionship by playing a game, watching TV, playing music or just talking. Visits from volunteers also allow caregivers the opportunity to run errands or have a break knowing someone is spending time with their loved one. Your volunteerism is based on your schedule. BVNA has patients in need all over Plymouth County so you'll be volunteering to make a difference in your own community.
