Good Shepherd Community Care is an award-winning hospice. We are seeking hospice volunteers who speak Russian to help patients in our Russian hospice program during their time of need. Volunteers assist clients and their families in a number of ways, providing friendly companionship visits to support patients and their families.
Our next training starts at the end of April.
You can make a difference in the lives of the families we serve. Please contact Mindy Sieber (617-969-6130) for more information about our volunteer programs and upcoming training. Visit our website: www.gscommunitycare.org to learn more and download a volunteer application.
