It isn't easy losing a loved one, but unfortunately we can't stop the inevitable. Being a volunteer with us will help give the patient and family something positive to remember from this journey. I am putting together different projects that will provide the families with a sentimental keepsake to remind them of their loved one.
What we need from you? It is hard for some patients to leave their home and we want to make things as easy as possible. I would love to have someone visit the patients in their home to take photos of them and their loved one. Something as simple as a photo of relatives holding their loved one's hand can be something that brings a patient and their family a piece of joy. It is also something the family can have when their loved one is no longer with them.

Description
For patients on hospice care, volunteers play an essential role. Whether they’re simply being present with a patient or helping behind the scenes, volunteers help create trusting bonds and meaningful memories for hospice patients and their loved ones.
