Would you like to provide comfort to others? ProMedica Heartland Hospice in Schererville, IN is looking for volunteers to make and donate Fleece No-Sew Tie Blankets in the comfort of their own home. We then gift the blankets to our hospice patients. It's like giving them a warm virtual hug. There is no minimum, just one or as many as you are willing to make will be appreciated. The cost of the material and shipping is the responsibility of the volunteer for which we are very grateful. Please, contact Kimberly Spearman at Kimerly.Spearman@promedica.org. if you are interested in this volunteer opportunity that will bring joy to others.

Description
Heartland Hospice provides care to patients wherever they call home: in the house they've lived in for years, a skilled nursing center, an assisted living facility or independent living facility.
Every patient is different, with different challenges, different needs, different family and friends. So the care we give each patient is different.
Heartland volunteers offer support, companionship and practical, compassionate help. Some interact directly with patients and families. Others prefer to work behind the scenes in the office setting. As a volunteer, you help determine which tasks you’re best suited to perform. The tasks of volunteers include:
- Helping with office support tasks at the agency
- Running errands for patients and families
- Staying with patients so family members can get a much-needed rest
- Reading, or providing a comforting touch
- Playing or singing soothing music to patients
- Keeping vigil with patients in their final hours
These and other tasks are why hospice volunteers are such an essential part of the Heartland experience.
