Sometimes the greatest gift is simply showing up.
At Baptist Hospice, we are looking for caring volunteers who are willing to give the most powerful thing they have: their time and presence.
You don't need medical skills. You don't need fancy words. Just a listening ear, a gentle touch, or a quiet visit can bring comfort to someone in their final season of life.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
- Visit patients in their homes, assisted living, or nursing facilities.
- Read scripture or poetry aloud.
- Sit quietly, hold a hand, or just "be there"
- Provide short respite breaks for caregivers.
- Help us offer the ministry of presence - even when the moment is still.
This role is deeply meaningful - but may not always be busy. Some days may be quiet. Some visits may be brief. But each one matters.
"There is a sacredness in silence. Sometimes, just sitting near someone who feels forgotten, reminds them they are still seen."
Flexible scheduling ~ Training Provided ~ Must be 18+
