Did you know the word Companion means "to accompany". To be a hospice companion volunteer is to not only be a friend and companion, it means to accompany someone on their journey to their end of life. What exactly do we do? We talk, we read, hold hands, watch movies, play games, write stories/letters, eat together, and laugh. If this is volunteering opportunity calls to you, please consider joining us at Beacon Hospice.
