Volunteers needed to create bird feeders for seniors. If you are crafty and would like to help by sponsoring a bird feeder for a senior, we would love to have you on our volunteer team. Some patients spend most of, if not all of their days in a hospital bed. Having a focal point outside of their windows is a beautiful way to add a smile to their day. Watching a bird fill their beak is a wonderful sight and seeing a butterfly flutter around looking for a spot to land for just a bit is mesmerizing. Maybe you are a part of a group, team, business, church, family or other organization that would like to sponsor a little focal point for a hospice patient in memory of your loved one who enjoyed making the most of life. Whatever your purpose may be, we would love to have you on our team of volunteers for our Birds and Butterflies for Seniors program.
