Now and at the hour of our death

Save to Favorites

We know not when that hour will come, but we can help those who are close to experiencing their final hour. Volunteering for hospice makes a big difference in the life of the patient and their family.

Have you ever had one of those friends that can just sit with you, without asking questions, without needing a reason, and just let you be what you need to be? That is what a volunteer can offer a patient in hospice. Sometimes the effort it takes just to answer questions, or respond to medical staff or family members is too much! A volunteer comes with a simple presence, no agenda, a smile, someone to color with or someone who reads to a patient.

Family members need to get out and get groceries, get haircuts, see doctors themselves and are afraid to leave their loved one at home alone. A volunteer can sit with that patient and just provide company. Watch a TV show together, listen to music, talk etc.

Please consider being a hospice volunteer with us, to be with those approaching the 'hour of their death.'
