Description

Crest Hospice/ Palliative Care is looking for volunteers to ease boredom, loneliness and social isolation. To make life a little bit brighter. There are wonderful people who need kindness and support. You can do this by conversation, playing a board game, reading a book, or just simply providing a listening ear. Everyone has something to offer. We train all volunteers. Some volunteers visit patients. And some prefer to do administrative work in the office. You can decide which would be a better fit for you.
