Visit Hospice Patients- they need you!

Hospice patients and their families are in need of a friendly volunteer to visit them. Volunteers spend time with patients to offer companionship and support. This could include reading a short story, bringing a cupcake on their birthday, playing cards, taking a patient outside to enjoy the nice weather and overall becoming a cherished companion. Volunteers typically visit once a week. The volunteer helps not only the patient but also their family.
