Recruiting Organization: Compassionate Care Western North Carolina

We offer numerous opportunities through our volunteer program to make a significant impact on the lives of others.

• Patient Care (most popular): Spend time with hospice patients, offering companionship, reading, or participating in light activities. Volunteers visit hospice patients in various settings like nursing facilities, homes, or assisted living communities, offering companionship and comfort without providing personal care.
• Special Talents: Utilize skills such as hairstyling, massage therapy, or pet therapy to bring comfort to patients.
• Caregiver Support: Volunteers give respite to at-home caregivers by running errands, grocery shopping, or spending time with patients.
• Support Activities: Volunteers support office tasks, community engagement, and fundraising initiatives.

Volunteers give the gift of their time and energy and gain great personal satisfaction. Compassionate Care Western North Carolina values the hard work of our volunteers, who provide crucial social and emotional support to patients, families, and staff.
