Continuum/Shalom hospice volunteer opportunity

ORGANIZATION: Continuum Health Hospice

Image_202210051052

This is a great opportunity to work with our community. There are so many hospice patients who really need and want support from you. They desire companionship, maybe reading quietly at their bedside or listening to music they like, playing games, doing arts and crafts, presenting them with virtual reality or recording a StoryCorps moment for them and their family and loved ones to listen to. These interviews are preserved at the American folklife Center at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. We can even train you for Veteran events. You do not need to have previous military experience, you can be a civilian. We just want to support our patients so they can live the rest of their life having that opportunity to be social with others and providing much needed emotional support. We will train you to succeed in volunteering before you are with a patient.

Continuum Hospice started out in 2019 working with patients in Snohomish County. Since then we are very proud to serve King county as well. Our volunteer program is amazing. We match our volunteers with clients depending on their need or desire. We have volunteers who provide companionship with one on one visits, play games such as Bingo, read to patients, life journal, we have a barber, people to do yard work and we even have a handy man. You may have a special skill set you would love to share with your patient. We also have a great Veteran program to meet our Veteran population, from handing out medals and certificates to completing honor ceremonies.
