Volunteers are the heart of Beacon Hospice, providing a special kind of caring and compassion for our patients and their families. Every day, our volunteers make a difference in the lives of so many people. Whether they offer a listening ear to patients and families, assist with daily household activities for patients, provide grief support, serve as a companion to a loved one or share their personal expertise to help promote hospice care, the time given to Beacon Hospice families by our volunteers can be the most rewarding experiences of their lives. As a volunteer for Beacon Hospice you "do good" everyday. It takes a very special, caring person to give themselves as unselfishly as our Beacon Hospice volunteers. If you would like to be a part of the Beacon Hospice team, here are some examples of the activities you can assist with:
- Reading to a patient, or holding a hand
- Staying with a patient while family members take a needed break or keep an appointment
- Shopping or doing errands for a patient
- Listening
- Helping patients write or tell their life stories
- Light household chores
- Providing help with makeup or hair
- Veterans needed to honor veteran patients at bedside/ share stories together
- Working on crafts or other projects
- Clerical and other office duties
- & Much more!
